I am convinced, more than ever, that we need to fundamentally change what we eat and how that food is grown and raised. I was so moved by my trip through New England and the people that I met, that I am personally working to change my diet in ways that will not only sustain my body but also sustain the small farmer. In two weeks I will give a talk at the Westport Art Center in CT, to discuss the role of photography as an instrument of change. Details to come...
We met up in the chilly winter air of Portland Maine for some beer tasting and an opportunity to explore the city with our cameras. Learning to see at night is especially challenging given the extremes of light and dark. For me, the Leica Monochrome simply excels at this environment. The camera, with its high ISO capabilities and its beautiful rendition of tones, simply eats up the night light and spits out stunning images. I love this camera more and more with each passing moment.
Attached are some of my favorites from our evening walk. I will be scheduling more walks as the year progresses so please stay tuned. Part social, part teaching, all Fun.
I am planning a photo walk, this coming Saturday, 2/08 in downtown Portland Maine. The goal is to simply walk the city, sample some of the local beers, and have fun taking pictures. Any and all are welcome to join in. Start time will be 6:00 and we will meet at Eventide. Please email me or comment here if you are planning on attending.
Below are some images captured on my last Portland Photo Walk. A beautiful city to photograph at night.
