The Long Goodbye

The “sweet sorrow” of parting. We never know what might come next, we only know what we will be missing. There is sorrow enough in that.

Tender Touch

Pond, Bridgewater, Connecticut © Steven Willard

The benefit of living in a place for years is that you get to see the same places under many different circumstances as the light changes with the seasons.

I’ve watched this pond with its surrounding trees as I have driven by countless times, but it was this particular time when the bare branches revealed what I hadn’t seen before; the two trees at the far end reaching out to touch each other. Too much? What do we really know about trees?

There is some debate about whether or not a portrait should show the eyes to be successful. I guess I come down on the side that says, “it depends”.

Walking down the paths of Mystic Seaport Museum, it’s easy to imagine another time. A time when young men (mostly) often dreamed of going to sea to reinvent themselves. It didn’t always turn out the way they hoped. As I walked towards the Conrad all I could see was her tops. She looked like a ship, hull down in a sea of shingles.

Winter. Just maybe the best season for black and white photography. Many days the color has already been reduced to shades of grey. Cool, huh?

Nothing like visiting good friends on a cold, windy, winter day. Enjoying the warmth of their hospitality and cozy surroundings. Watching the birds at the feeders as the wind blows and the temperature drops outside.

It may be cold and wet in New England now, but then it was hot and dry. I look at this image and remember.
