There are several areas that comprise the Anthropocene such as land use (e.g. human-made material now exceeds the natural biomass), climate AnthropoceneEpigeneticsNovember 5, 2025I’ve been learning about epigenetics lately and how it relates to the Anthropocene. Epigenetics processes affect plant and animal behavior through changes in genetic expression but not the underlying genetic markers. It’s a natural response to environmental factors as living things age, grow and evolve. What’s new is the extent of human impact affecting genetic DaystreamDayStreamNovember 1, 2025DayStream is a series of images using a Hasselblad medium format camera. The shutter is left open as the camera is moving, producing a blur. The images are straight photographs using Ektachrome 64 and Agfa 1000 transparency film and aren’t manipulated with digital software. The images are unique to a camera’s capabilities, creating pictures the SummerBar HarborJuly 28, 2024On a foggy day we biked to the top of Cadillac Mountain with views of Bar Harbor, Maine. The weather changed by the minute from near zero visibility fog to sun at times. Mt Cadillac is known to be the first place to see the sunrise in winter in the US and is the tallest Birds, SummerBirdsAugust 15, 2023It’s hard photographing birds. They move fast in and out and up and down. It’s hard to focus even with auto-focus cameras but sometimes it’s possible. It just takes a lot of patience and trial and error. I’ve tried to photograph birds for quite a while with limited success. These came out pretty well I Food, Summer, TravelHoly MackerelJuly 13, 2023Some years I get lucky fishing from a kayak off Islesboro Maine. This year was one of those years, no more than a minute after dropping a line I had 3 mackerel! There used to be a lot more when I was a kid but great to see there are some left. We used to Portraits, Summer, TravelA Walk with a ViewJuly 13, 2023This was taken on the southern tip of Islesboro, an island in Penobscot Bay Maine. The area is called Town Beach and faces south towards North Haven and Vinal Haven. The rocks in this area have a flat top with distinct striations that show the north-south movement of glaciers. The picture is of a friend SpringRainMay 25, 2023It’s rained a lot lately. I like to photograph rain on water and the concentric circles the drops create. Since water is reflective it’s tricky to get a shot of rain drops without a lot of tree reflections. This photo was taken near where I live of a vernal pool. I’m not sure how the Europe, Portraits, TravelPompidouNovember 3, 2022This is a photo of Ali, the nephew of a long-time friend Feisal. Ali went to art school so we have much in common. This was taken at the Pompidou Center in Malaga Spain from inside the glass door entrance so the lettering is reversed. There’s something about this photo I really like – the Europe, TravelSea VistaOctober 31, 2022The wide flat Mediterranean sea looking towards Morocco contrasts with the dense city streets of Malaga Spain. A city known for its cuisine, beaches, and nightlife. It’s one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities dating from 770 BC first by the Phoenicians then by Romans, Moors, and Christians. Even though mobbed by British and Europe, TravelMalaga SpainOctober 31, 2022Had the pleasure of visiting Malaga Spain. A beautiful ancient and modern city with many tourists who flood the historic center with its narrow streets. The nightlife often goes till near dawn, both locals and visitors enjoying southern Europe’s passione.

Flora, SpringBirds + BeesJune 25, 2022Well, no birds but a bee in this one, taken near where I work in West Concord. Lots of flowers coming out – fun to take pics on a lunchtime walk.

Her most recent book, “Generative Scribing: A Social Art of the 21st Century”, defines scribing as a practice that includes words and pictures to reveal a system’s potential. She’s also the co-founder of the Spring, TamomanTamoman 30May 11, 2022‘Twas Tamoman 30 this year – thirty years of brotherhood and kinship spawned over the decades. I went up a few days early for some solo cabin life. Was quite nice, a cool spring with mist and rain and days of sunshine. Here are a few pics. The first morning there was a newt on New York, SpringWilliamsburgApril 20, 2022New York sidewalks are so interesting – all sorts of interactions and dramas playing out with people, signs, storefronts et al. No need to go anywhere fancy or spend money, just walk the streets, and something interesting will happen. I’ve come to appreciate this about NY more than anything. This was taken in Williamsburg Brooklyn WinterTracksFebruary 14, 2022 FoodSoupFebruary 5, 2022Last of the butternut squash from this past summer’s crop, amazing how easy it is to grow and sweet and keeps well. This pot is made with coconut milk and ginger with some nutritional yeast and homegrown oregano on top plus salt and pepper. Pretty simple and tasty. WinterSnowstormFebruary 5, 2022So we got a pretty big snowstorm last weekend, about 18″ with big winds out of the Northeast. This was taken Saturday morning on the usual run, Peter came along. The route goes through some conservation land near my condo on Conant and thru the Acton Sand Pit which is now filled with solar panels FoodPopoverNovember 27, 2021 New YorkMcCarren ParkSeptember 3, 2021This photo was taken in Williamsburg’s McCarren Park. An odd scene of a guy taking photos of someone’s sneakers and a beautiful singular cloud above. McCarren Park is an interesting place that includes soccer fields, a track, tennis courts, workout area, and backboards for racquet ball or any other ball game you want to play SummerRam IslandAugust 20, 2021Ram Island is just off of Cushing island in Casco Bay, Portland Maine. It’s a beautiful spit of land going towards the open ocean. This photo was taken from Fort Levett, a WWII gunnery on the island. You can access the roof of the gunnery by climbing through a small hatch.
