 Another view of that kale I posted yesterday, this time from above. A bit of fog had lifted, still some density to the air. The maples by the little pond by the garden are nice this year. #garden #vermont #drone #photography #autumn

 The kale is doing quite nicely this year, in spite of me generally neglecting the garden to a degree I rarely have.

This is through a modern Voigtlander lens I maybe should have used more this summer. It is the sharpest lens, corner to corner, really, and also draws in a rather pretty way,  wide open.
(this summer I mostly used a pair of vintage lenses, which are also sharp (not like this lens) but maybe prettier than anything.

 Sure, ghosts and witches are spooky, but the real horror of Halloween is staring down the barrel ... 
 @25b5e014  There's something about the Halloween time of year — somehow the membrane between aspects of our mind gets thinner and more permeable. The darker creepy crawlies can sneak through into our normal mind. It's no accident they made this holiday at this time of year. One source of solace: at least they got that right, making Halloween at the end of October.

If I'd had more time I might have framed up some more prints from way back, for this theme of process, but I've got one from a 4 x 5 film scan, Tri-x exposed in 1981. The show also features some straight-up landscape work with digital cameras as well as some of the #vintagelens work I've done more recently.

If they put me up in a room to talk, I've got a lot to say. Otherwise I’ll mingle with a mask.
