Two more images from the session of August 9th, before the rain at Rockland Lake.





I photographed for many years along the banks of the Wissahickon River in Philadelphia. I used film of course back then, only black and white for me, almost all medium format. I used a Rolleiflex D2 a Plaubel Makina 670 and a Pentax 67 with 45, 90 and 165mm lenses. A body of that work can be found at http://tarnished-silver.com.

I like to walk alone along a shoreline with a camera, the water alive with motion and the light from above reflected from the surface, the body contained by the far shoreline or the opposite bank or the infinite horizon.

Light and time and the meaning of it all, that is photography.
