My profile in Cape Cod Life magazine

Now that we have passed August 1st, summer is on the wane, and I approach the time of year when I make about 90% of my images. I find that the late summer storms we have "clean up" the atmosphere a bit and add some drama to the sky. Later, dry fall days will provide brilliant light to the landscape, and the reduced humidity will allow for better definition of the clouds. Also, the marsh grasses will begin to change color, evolving daily, providing a new palette every evening for us.
This past weekend I shot a bunch of film after some violent storms had passed through. I will post those as soon as possible, however because I am a film based photographer, it takes a few days or weeks to get my images to the point where I can post them. Once I have them up, I hope to explain how I made them, leaving out most of the technical (boring) details that I can. In the future, I will wait until I have the images in hand before I write about them.
Also with August 1st, we have the Cape Cod Life special Arts Edition on the newsstand. I have a profile on page 90 (page 88 has fellow Marshfield artist Ted Polomis with his brilliant oil paintings). An image of the cover is below, (it won't be available long as my mother is buying them all up).


The writer of my profile, Jennifer Sperry, was great to work with, and was able to wade through my rambling explanations of my work and produce a perfectly accurate piece. Thanks Jen!
