glacier melt near Whittier, Ak
pier on the Homer Spit, Ak
I have spent the last couple of weeks editing for the website, and getting ready for Fall classes at Sweet Briar. In looking over all the digital images, I find myself trying to remember what else was going on outside the boundaries of the camera, and how much I can conjure up the feelings that accompanied that particular place... what was the air temperature, what did it smell like, what made me want to stop?
There is always a struggle between what I want a photograph to look like, and what I can actually make it look like, given the parameters that I am working within. I have never been much of a journalist type photographer, but this trip made me realize how much I wanted to come back telling the truth of what I had seen. By that, I mean the truth of the feeling, since it was impossible to tell the truth of the place.
