2020 RELOOK

/

Limiting my favorite photos of the last decade, to fifty, is a real challenge - I love it though - It is stimulating - the reflection matures my style and stirs my emotions. I presently struggle with which photos I eliminate to include a few I have to include.

For instance, I am altering Drought Art, to make the grade. It is my only image in the favorite fifty of the 2012 drought on Lake Champlain - a very significant event, particularly considering hitting a hundred year high water mark, on the lake, the year before.

2020 is my time to relook at my images from the 60’s to 2010 . I have hundreds, all stored away in slide trays or sleeves containing 2 1/4, 4x5, and 8x10 film. I expect the artistic value to be limited, compared to my favorite fifty of the last decade, but the emotional recall will be considerable, as I treasure my last days with Patty.

I anticipate acquiring a high power scanner to bring the past into the current digital world. It will be interesting to see what comes of it, with the ability of current digital manipulation.
