Preliminary Stages of a New Body of Work
Embracing the lens and the digital dark room - I intend to focus on wintery Catskill landscapes over the coming months...
I am new to your blog but I think I will enjoy it. I am a photographer too and used a camera for many years professionally, and only more recently in an artistic sense. I so agree with you about the connection of nature with spirituality. Whenever I'm upset or frustrated and angry or depressed, I go outside and I am healed. Many times my husband has to remind me to go, but it always works. I'm a gardener too and that's a god-send.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts Coneflower and for your kinds words about my work. I can relate to your comment about going outside "to be healed." I find being near bodies of water very restorative...
My husband needs the water. I'm restored by getting my hands in the dirt. I start getting nervous about February or March having clean nails so I've begun to start my own plants from seed. :-)
David is particularly fond of Lake Erie since he grew up on it.
I am a design educator, photographer and blogger whose efforts are informed by a deep attachment to the rural topography of my Catskill Mountain home in upstate New York.

I forgot... I love the photo of the old barn. They fascinate me and this one from your chosen perspective is wonderful.

That's a good idea Coneflower. : )
I suspect I'm fond of water because I grew up near a creek and much of my childhood was spent there...
