A big thank you to everyone who attended the 2006 Art Across The Marsh studio tour.  I met so many interesting people and had a really fabulous time.  Special thanks to Robert Lyon for the encouragement and promotion, and to Pamela Marie Pierce for absolutely everything.

I recently visited Fort Beausejour with the intent of capturing the sunsets. It seems to be a common occurrance for me that the subject I set out to photograph is not the subject I bring back.

The fellow on the left was shy, the fellow on the right was quite the ham. I suppose when you’re a duck, and looking for a small piece of wood to pass time on, opposites attract.

This shot was taken at the Yarmouth wharf.  This is an example of how I enjoy the way in which the camera frame focuses my attention, creating a microview of the world.  It makes me appreciate the sheer volume of visual noise we take in every day.

I love this photograph.  I find it very visually pleasing.

This photo was made at the Yarmouth wharf.

I was stricken by the way these Lichen grow on the volcanic rock at Cape Forchu.  As I have said elsewhere, I see language in shape and these Lichen are living geometry.

Cape Forchu is comprised almost entirely of volcanic rock.  The way these rocks interact with and are effected by their surroundings lends an otherworldly feel to the entire site.
