From the time I started taking pictures, I've been capturing landscapes. Living in New York City, you'd think that it’s difficult to take landscape photography. Well, it was all right there in front of me. I recently found an image I captured while I was still in college, living in New York. I was below the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Brooklyn side, looking towards Manhattan. The street looked like it hadn’t changed in 100 years. There were the old factory buildings, cobblestone streets, and railroad tracks. I pointed the camera south and captured the image. My best landscapes are of scenery that I looked at every day. While living on Fire Island, I did a study of views I saw every day. I shot these pre-digital. In fact, I shot them using my 8X10 Deardoff. I would bring the camera, film, dark cloth, my heavy-duty wood tripod, load it all on to my bike, and then go pedal off to the location. I would take two film holders, which is four sheets of film, set up, focus, and hope for the best. I lived on a farm for a few years and shot many images. It was not hard to find something to shoot. I shot everything at all different times of the year. I loved the tree-lined driveway, the paddocks with their wooden fences, and the hay stacked and piled up like a city. To this day, I look around every day while driving into town and back, looking for that perfect landscape photography.
