Weeping Willow | 04.20.2025
Corning Preserve, Albany, New York

In ancient folklore, willow trees were thought to be deeply connected to the spirit world. They were known for their flexibility—able to bend without breaking—and were often seen as symbols of resilience and intuition. Druids used their branches in rituals, believing the tree held healing and mystical properties. Across cultures, willows became associated with mourning and memory. Even today, you’ll find stone willows carved into old gravestones.

Sunset Behind Colarusso Island, Tomhannock | 24-Hour Exposure

Sunset behind Colarusso Island, Tomhannock
24-hour exposure

When photography first emerged, some believed it might reveal the unseen — a way to glimpse into other worlds, to capture what human perception alone could not. What photography can do is dilate time — to slow the world and its rhythms so we can see them more clearly.

This is a 24-hour exposure of the sun setting behind Colarusso Island in the Tomhannock Reservoir. I made this image using found objects — because at its core, photography is a simple act: capturing light within a chamber and projecting it onto a surface. Everything else is detail.

Olympic Ski Jumps | 04.07.2025

Olympic Ski Jumps | 04.07.2025

Lake Placid, New York

The night sky over the Olympic ski jumps in Lake Placid. The Adirondacks are among the darkest places in the Northeast, rated Bortle Class 2–3. But even here, light pollution is creeping in—as seen in the glow from Lake Placid Village. A child born today may see fewer than 250 stars growing up. In cities, that number drops to around 100. Under truly dark skies, we should be able to see over 5,000. These skies are worth protecting.
