bam!

so- the end is looming and I felt like revisiting images from maine...16x20...
big negatives=big prints that look like you are right there...not the challenging landscapes I have invested so much effort in lately...just images that I enjoyed making and looking at...

This image is a tunnel at historic Fort Knox in Maine...the fort was built as defense during the Spanish American war...a shot was never fired under distress...it is amazing just as so many other things in Maine are! A cold wet summer...just like when I was a kid



The barn at the Olson House- Cushing Maine. Andrew Wyeth made Christina Olson and her family estate famous with the painting of Christina's World. This image is in the boat house/barn across the road from the actual house. The carriage is for boats- they would cart the boats down to the St George River (a tributary/outlet into the Penobscot Bay)


For some reason, the estate has decided to have a boat in the shed room attached to the main house...I just sat my camera on the single seat in the dingy and focused. I'm super happy with the space opening up in the print...it feels like the photo disappears and you are in the seat.

I miss Maine, the coast, and visiting the seemingly endless grave sites that our family occupies (I have become the family documentarian).

Next up? Final Graduate Review on Friday and then the final show!!!

Later-
