Frida and Vanishing City 2

Spring has definitely arrived to NY! So why am I posting images from the last season? Good question. I just like them and have only recently scanned them. Something more sunny and cheery to come shortly…

From a trip over the Dallas Divide during a mild snowstorm. I’ve crossed over this pass a number of times and this grove of Aspen trees are always intriguing and somewhat foreboding.

What do you do with 12 plastic pails?

I had the need for a single red plastic sand bucket as a prop a while back and found that it was a bit difficult to find in the winter in NY. So a quick search of the ol’ interweb brought me 12 plastic pails just in time for the shoot. Well, what do you do with 12 plastic pails once they’ve served their purpose as a prop (aside from recycle them or try to pawn them off on your friends’ children)? Make something bright and vacuous!

Vanishing City

While on my way to meet with an old friend who’d just moved to New York, I took a short detour to the bank of the Hudson river to make this picture.

These two images take me back to when I was small, exploring the wooded area behind my parents house, pretending I was Indiana Jones in the jungle of Peru or something similar. At an earlier time, all I wanted was a tree fort from which I could lead an imaginary army into battle. My father set out to build one and even though we didn’t get beyond a little platform wedged in the fork of an oak tree, it was perfect. What it lacked in the way of a roof, walls or any sort of safety railing it made up for in its rugged simplicity.

I spent two days in Rogers Arkansas in mid-September helping my father wrap up the last of a few loose ends at my grandmother’s house before it was sold. I had a bit of time between dropping him off for his flight and my own, so I went exploring around the came across this unfinished housing development. I had been by this spot once before but this time, many months had passed and abandonment shows quickly.

No commentary, just a pair of new images to share. The first from a very cloudy and stormy looking day at the beach, which coincidentally is my favorite weather for a day at the beach. The second from a BBQ before the bad weather settled in.
