Introducing Quiet Geometry — Vol. 1

I've been carrying a camera for about ten years. Phones first. Then a Nikon. The places that drew me back weren't the ones I'd planned for — they were the ones that asked me to stop.

This Saturday, June 13, I'm releasing the first volume of a body of work I call Quiet Geometry.

It's a digital photobook. Fifty photographs from five countries — Iceland, Japan, France, Copenhagen, Finland. Each one chosen for the same reason: a kind of stillness in the frame, a symmetry that wasn't shouting, an angle nobody else seemed to be standing at.

The book is built for the screen and for print. Sixty pages. Five short essays from the road. One artist statement. $10.99.

If you've followed my work, you've seen pieces of this. The Iceland horse. The Kyoto priest. The Copenhagen sunset with the lanterns hanging in a chain. The book is where they sit together, in the order they were meant to be read.

The pre-order page goes live tonight. Saturday morning, the link starts working for real.

Sky Meadows

I attended the NOVAC public event at Sky Meadows on the 25th of January. I thought I would see the alignment of planetary bodies, but this was not to be. However, tons of stars and planets were visible to the naked eyes.

It would have been a perfect night for Astrophotography, however, there was too much light pollution. It was a good night all the same as I met hobbyists and enthusiasts photographing the night skies with all manners of cameras and telescopes.
