I took these photos while exploring the area Manchester Millyard areas of the Heritage trail. Every time I drive by this building at night it’s always lit up in the most haphazard way giving it the impression of a villain’s hideout. It’s soft orange lights can be also seen illumining the outdoor waiting room sofa nearby.
I imagine I could inquire and find out what actually goes on there, but I prefer crafting my own sinister stories in instead.
This was photographed on another cold stormy day at the seacoast. It was shot using 35mm B&W on an old Cannon camera.
I really enjoy the distance found in these photos. The low brush mountains slowly fade away in the distance while the aged white pillars guard the marshlands. Both look forgotten, but that’s probably a good thing for the marshlands.
A random assortment of photos that I found to be interesting in some way. Some high contrast, some have a nice composition and some just give me a sense of ease that I can’t describe.
These photographs come from the Manchester Millyard during a rather spectacular sunset. The high contrast of black silhouettes against bold colors is something I have explored in a lot of my artwork. The reflected colors in the water windows and pavement lines add nice accents to the silhouettes that help tie it all together.
Many of these high contrast photos server as inspiration for my large scale ink and water color paintings. I like the idea of art becoming new, but different art. Artists often inspire each other, but I think we can also inspire ourselves.
These photos come from a trip to Hampton Beach on a cold, stormy day. I like the beach best on these days because it shows the beach in a far different way than it’s normally portrayed.
It was shot using 35mm B&W on an old Cannon something, something I stole from my Mom long ago. Every year I try to get out and shoot at least one roll off B&W on it. It feels like a happy medium somewhere between in the instant gratification of digital photography and the slow labor of building up a painting to completion.
