Are We There Yet?

From Brooklyn II

Have I told you how much I love the Brooklyn Promenade? It's lovely on its own, of course. 

But oh, the lights! The water! The lovely architectural skyline, begging for abstraction.

The Day

Winter Window Reflection

Originally it seemed like a mistake to have the two images above touching. 

But then you look at it for a hot second, and wow. Of course they should intersect like that.

Winter Lake

Water.

Winter.

Dawn.

Blue Skies

I find myself becoming particular about light. Not time-of-day light - that's nothing new, I adore dawn and pre-dawn. No, I'm talking about indoor lighting. For example - I was at a wedding this afternoon, and there were candles and hanging lights throughout the cathedral. Beautiful, yes? But difficult to photograph while seated (since your don't have full range of motion with your arms).

Ah, but softer light, diffused light that perhaps is streaming through a window - that is a shape I can play with. And while we're at it, shall we add some blinds to the window, for texture? By all means. And that is the start of this series.

Bittersweet

The first moments of sunrise illuminate the world like none other.

It's like the first rays of light after a long darkness, even a long darkness you weren't sure you'd see through to the end. But the end came, and it was glorious - everything sparking and showing its color like you'd never seen.

I'm looking to capture that moment in my work - when you have fresh eyes to see and appreciate, to wonder and imagine. Not midnight, when all is dark. Not noon, when the light seems like nothing special. No - at dawn, when the light is soft and persistent, when everything is new.
