Words and Pictures

Inspired by the movie "Words and Pictures" starring Clive Owen and Juliette Brioche, I decided to put some words to these photos taken today at The Christman Sanctuary in Delanson, NY. I realized after seeing this wonderful movie that I needed to emphasize photographing what gives me feeling, that which creates emotion within me when present at the scene.    

The Poem entitled Flowing Waters-Let me envelope you in my cool flowing waters. Let all your fears, worries and stress flow out of you into me, I can handle it. Float with me downstream and feel the warmth, the life of me. Look up and see the beautiful canopy I have provided above you. A canopy of love, light and caring. Know that you are safe as a leaf against the rock, bathed in my water forever.

Enjoy, Jeff

Jay

Out with the Fuji X10 for a good street shot.  I found Jay in Schenectady in front of the Tattoo Parlor where he works. Shot with in camera B&W.  He was a great subject for a portrait.  Enjoy, Jeff

Morning Frost

Early morning this time of year presents great light, back lighting, frost and dew.  Went over to Five Rivers in Delmar with my Nikon D200, Tokina 100m ATX 2.8 PRO-D macro lens and Nikon 600SB-Speedlight.  Beautiful experience.  I am happy with the images.  Settings were ISO 500, F13, 1/200sec. AWB, flash at 1/64 power.  All on a Stroboframe bracket.  Enjoy, Jeff
