The clock is ticking

Half way through my sixtieth year, I had hope to be on the road by now, but the pandemic has disrupted so many things. I am still alive though, and that’s a good thing.

Work is progressing on the darkroom box. I’ll get some photos posted soon. Happy with how it is coming together.

Now that Fall has arrived, and with it some comfortable cycling weather, I hope to schedule more time on the bicycle in hopes of getting in better shape for longer rides. Friday seems to be the day that I am able to free up the most, and I should make a point of doubling up on my Thursday work to give me the advantage of an early morning start Friday. The Westside bicycle path is well marked, and maintained, and this makes for an easier ride if I start before sun up. My goal is to reach the little red lighthouse just as dawn approaches. This give me a boost of energy as the day starts.

Though I plan on riding through the Winter, I should squeeze as many rides in before the snow, and ice take a firm hold.

I had hoped to take some time off this October, but each day I am not working is money that is not going into my savings account, but a few days off, and a little bicycle trip would be wonderful.

Time now to get back to work.

A New York based photographer who still shoots film. Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work.
