Hoodie & Woodies in Lyme

 

About a dozen of each. Six wood ducks and 12 hooded merganser along the Connecticut River in Lyme today. And a half dozen wood ducks on Clay Brook. Here are a few photos.

Bird Flying at the end of March

A tour of the Upper Valley Easter Sunday morning produced few birds, but some were flying around a few NH spots.  Here is a merlin over the Hanover golf course.

Making Guitars

A few months ago I was asked to photograph a guitar-building class in Post Mills Vermont for Upper Valley Life, an excellent regional magazine.  Three students from three New England states worked with two instructors in a nicely equipped workspace.  One day I was there photographing I was treated to a live concert by a guitar duo.

I greatly enjoy making environmental portraits–photos of people in their work or play environments. My goal is to not only make a portrait but to show the individual’s relationship to their career, hobby, or lifestyle. The students at the school where not in their normal environment but were working with instruments they love so that is what I tried to show.

You can see some of the photos I took at the Vermont Instruments School by clicking the image below.  You can read the accompanying article by Sonja Hakala  HERE.
