It’s The Little Things
Posted on March 11, 2014
The first time I noticed it, I was sitting on the bench in front of the painting, letting myself be hypnotized by the controlled chaos of the large canvas. I was admiring how much depth could be felt by the use of only five colors, when suddenly my gaze drifted across it. I rubbed by eyes thinking that maybe I’d been staring for so long that my eyes were playing tricks on me. But when I got up and walked closer, there it was! A sixth color about the size of the tip of a pinky finger: a single red drip. A hidden gem. I laughed out loud, feeling like in some funny way Pollock was smiling back at me through that little dot.

“I need the smell of summer, I need its noises in my ears.”

I was going to put up this post unrelated to the Weekly Photo Challenge, but it seems as though the prompt (“Treasure”) somehow knew…
That winter’s drives to the beaches, frozen fingertips holding cigarettes out cracked windows, music blasting as we sang of youthful heartache and yearning…Memories I will treasure forever.
Connection

The experiences of living can often be summed up in a single word: connection.

One of these two would grow up to be the shadowy archer in yesterday’s photo.
Happy Birthday, Rodin!
Posted on November 12, 2013
Today is Auguste Rodin’s 173rd birthday. Rodin felt as though many of his works, particularly his marble pieces, were already hidden inside each chunk of stone and that his purpose was to “uncover” or “find” them. As a photographer the world is like my chunk of rock, and I use the camera to pull things and people into focus that were hidden there all along.
Reflection

Every New Yorker has a few places in the city where they go to think, to reflect, to ground themselves, to have a moment of meditation.
