Momentary Faces 2007 to last Saturday

People who have paused in my viewfinder over the years. Some for 1/250 of a second. Many for longer deeper seeing inspiring moving me forward. All leave a mark on me all the moments last forever. peace

A day at New England Ballet

Snow angels and a flake on the tongue out my kitchen window a few days ago.

More then just an assistant. She was a constant presence for years who acquiesced to share her eyes with my vision. But was much more comfortable loading Nikons at dress rehearsal and worrying I’d fall from the arm rests. An outstanding artist in photography and many other mediums.

Bruce, coffee and sarcasm in the kitchen. Table covered by the Sunday NYT an ash tray on good days a bag of weed. Bruce always there.

Arnold so much inspiration so much laughter.

Brat Red a internet model from Brattleboro Vt. August 2007. Brattleboro where once I dreamed of retiring.

Organized not in a business mode. Moments that I have seen lately. peace

Bolton Lake Ct. the 80’sWillimantic Ct. 1996 a very productive period.

The Muse a chance meeting in Paradise at lunch. Next morning the Studio on Bellevue and years of sessions. Hundreds of images many never printed or scanned. Reaching into my 80th decade they may be lost.

Working with a single person repeatedly you may think is repetitious boring. But no way each session was new with wonderful moments each a highlight. Thoughts about our work, hers and mine.

Here a test with Ilford SFX a film that can feel like IR but more controllable in exposure and process.

Here I show studio work with women, motion emotion, eyes. I’m asked why no men? Seinfeld said men’s bodies are utilitarian but that isn’t it at all men’s walls are thick rarely are their souls within reach. Women have been celebrated throughout time in art. Yes there was David but in my life he is almost impossible to find and I wonder if Leonardo worked with a camera what would David’s eyes say.
