So I thought a good way to help me look back at photos I’ve taken would be to institute a “Flashback Friday” theme. I have a closet full of slides and negatives and making myself re-examine those is a good thing. A type of forced organization and converting images to digital. Perhaps even looking back will help re-inspire my current photography. To start I’m going to cheat a little and not delve into negatives or slides but some digitals files from last summer.
Winter is here and remembering the pleasant sights, sounds and smells of one of my favorite place on this earth seemed a good choice. Since birth I have spent at least sometime each summer on a small Island just off the coast of Maine. This space is a respite for many members of my family and was originally built by my Norwegian immigrant grandparents. Their love of the cold water, evergreen dotted coastline has been passed down to many a generation. This island is also one of the first places I discovered the true meditative quality of photography. I have walked the rocky shoreline with a camera more often that I recount. Here are a few from 2011. No doubt I will flashback again to photos from this most wonderful place.
