A Daughter's Eye

I'm very blessed to have a daughter that never ceases to amaze me.

She's entering university this Fall as an Engineering student, but her skills with the camera show more than just promise. These happen to be on my laptop for some reason. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing them for now.

From her trip to Rome and Switzerland 2 years ago..........










She takes pictures like she writes. Transparent, clear as lake water.

I'm so very proud to be her father.

Hudson , New York  2010


By mid April I find myself once again drawn to afternoon light, especially in the East coast where it glows around
3:30-4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Falling shadows can take on heroic proportions and lingering light..... loud as bells !

Tender is the Day

Tonality .

For me its everything.

Just the other day I was talking on the phone with a person I've never met.

He was helping me get in touch with a fellow neighbor who used to live in the house that he now owns., I guess its a small town thing where people still freely give up information to anyone asking. " oh yeah Joe ! he moved on down to Spencertown. Let me go grab his new number " .
 
There was an amazing grace to his voice. One of genuine kindness and caring, almost tender.

I imagined him as the quintessential grandpa, someone's husband of 40 years, a good man.

One to almost emulate in the cadence of life.

The effect of that day is still fresh in my head. Its reaffirming to know that the human spirit is alive and contagious. So much so that its prompted me to put together this group of photographs of my wife and daughter.
