Zelda keeps an eye on things, when I come out to do the morning chores, she is the first one out of the barn to check on me and Red. I talked to George Forss this morning and we are both excited about doing a photo show together, it called “Landscapes” and our work will hang together at the Round House Cafe in Cambridge, N.Y., for the month of February, the Round House is having a reception for the both of us on the eve of the show, date to be announced.

We each will have 10 photos in the show, George’s will be a retrospective showing his work capturing the urban landscape in New York City and his newer work of the rural landscape, a subject we both will share. I think my photos will focus on my sense of the rural landscape, perhaps some of Cambridge as well. I am quite honored to be sharing a photo show with George, I think it is a kind of coming out to me, although I do not compare myself to him, he is a well known genius at landscape photography.

Maria is going to curate the show, and I feel very excited about it. George is also going to print the photos I have chosen, I couldn’t ask for more than that. The photos will be matted and framed, as inexpensively as possible, and George is using high-quality digital fiber paper to print them. They will all be for sale.

This week, Maria and I are going to New York City for several days, Wednesday through Friday, to take a few days off,  see some movies, go to see some museums, hang out with my daughter Emma, who has a bunch of things lined up for us to eat, see and do. I hope to get over to George’s gallery, Park Slope in Brooklyn and see some more of George’s work there.

As many of you know, my photography has become  important to me, art show are not very comfortable for me, but doing one with George is a wonderful thing for me, I couldn’t ask for a better way to honor and show both of our work.
