Tattoo

Union City, Connecticut

Tattoo parlors prefer not to display their interiors to the world. I've seen all sorts of opaque window treatments used. In this case, mirror-like plastic film inside the picture window. I wondered whether it might be a one-way material, giving insiders a secret view out to the street, but they weren't open yet so I didn't find out.

Poles and Fences

Waterbury, Connecticut

At different points I seem to get fascinated by common objects that we see all the time but can use as repeat-with-variation elements in pictures. Metal fences and utility poles have been attracting my attention a lot recently.

It's never seemed important to me to find one single, definitive view of a subject. Sometimes I return to the same subjects again and again to find new interpretations. It's OK to see more than one interesting view of a subject and I don't think it's essential to decide which view is best. For that matter, I feel the same way about prints. If I return to a picture I've printed years before, I don't make any effort to print it exactly the same way as before. I look for the best interpretation I can make now, and don't care if it's different. After all, maybe I know a little more about pictures, and printing them, than I did ten or forty years ago.

Litchfield, Connecticut, 9/27/09

I'd planned to shoot at a street fair in Torrington today, but it was rainy and cold so the event was canceled. Fall is rolling in too, and while I was out I got this view at White's Memorial Reserve, shot from exactly the same spot as this morning's post, made last July.

I've lost count how many pictures of weeds I've used here. I remain fascinated with the way weeds tenaciously advance on urban environments.
