Walking with My Camera: Wetness, Darkness, Brightness

Most of the rest of the country is crackling and sweating with heat but Northwestern Montana has been cool and moist. I continue to see at least one frog every day on my walks (happy). The rain has created lots of puddles for them.

A feather, perhaps an untold story, a remnant of a meal or a lost part.

I continue to work on my bear head sculpture. Now is the time of attention to small details with time slowing patience.

I am also working through water images and imagining them forward into three-dimensional space. It is an odd cycle of internal―to a representational external―then back to an internal process―to get as close as I can to something I can’t quite see yet. I must follow the sense of the images I am moving toward. I am still drawn to photographing the water through the headgate.
