Lately my thoughts and daydreams have been dominated by snowy hillsides and sliding down them on a snowboard. This has been a bit excruciating since we’re here in dog days of summer. I took these photos above while riding at Montana’s Big Mountain with my pal Paul Clark (aka Blixie). I hope it snows soon.
I hope this isn’t the best picture I will ever take, but it very well might be. This almost feels like cheating. Nothing I could make on my own will ever top the grandeur of nature.
Oh, and I’d like to be invited to the Siren Festival next year. I can take a mean picture too. 🙂
St. Giglio Festival in Williamsburg began last Sat. with the ceremonial procession of a seven-story high statue topped with St. Giglio himself. It’s a stone’s throw away from the Lorimer St. on the “L” train.
Picasso’s old trick of painting with light never grows tired…especially with the addition of the digital camera…These were 15 second exposures ‘drawn’ with a bare mini-mag light bulb at 400 ISO. One person stands very still, and behind them, another person draws the outlines really quickly, and since they are moving so fast, they don’t really show up.
These were taken in the woods, where Invisiblefellows Paul, Kerry and I hiked the amazing Escarpment Trail in the Catskills (more to come on that). You can see the full images of these light-paintings here: Jon, Kerry and Paul
