Moonrise at the Crossroads
Moonrise at sunset… at the Crossroads.
The intersection of day and night, East and West (Ailanthus altissima), town and country, my life and yours… however fleeting. I am of course aware of the bluesman Robert Johnson and the myth of him “going down to the crossroads” to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for his remarkable ability to play. Believe me when I say I haven’t sold my soul to anyone. Crossroads has more to do with where I live and often photograph.
There are likely to be other variations of this image to come. Others I took, most horizontal – with this camera and with my little Sigma DP3 Merrill, also have a lot of potential.
90mm Zeiss Sonnar CG, Sony a6000, Lr 5.6, Ps CS6. This camera is an APS-C or “crop sensor” camera, meaning the sensor is smaller than a “full frame” camera sensor. Full frame is the size of a 35mm negative, while APS-C is about half that area. Just as with film, the larger the sensor the more information recorded. For landscape images more information means a lot. I bought this camera to photograph action… street photography, if you will. The camera is very fast. See the Identity Crisis photos, all taken with this camera. And I really love the Zeiss rangefinder lenses on it. I just thought I would see how it handled landscapes.
Kinzua Dam Spillway – Side View
Just back from my recent trip to Western Pennsylvania and the Wilderness 50th celebration at the Crary Gallery in Warren. I simply can’t say enough about the kindness, warmth, and generosity of the folks associated with the gallery and the people of Warren in general. It was a very special visit.
This is a side view of the spillway of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River, a short distance upriver from Warren. I have some pretty mixed feelings about dams in general, this one included, but they do present some interesting visual material. I have another image of this spillway that I will be posting next.
Now a little shameless self promotion: My four images will continue to be exhibited until the end of September along with many other fine images from the likes of Craig Blacklock, Clyde Butcher, Kevin Ebi, Scot Miller, David Muench, and a few other equally fine photographers. It has truly been an honor!
