North Fork

Abandoned House, North Fork, Long Island

'What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on'.....Thoreau

Found this wonderful abandoned house on the way to Shelter Island this weekend. Yet another testimonial to a dis-appearing America. Can't help but wonder if walls could talk.....

Halloween Pumpkins

Palenville Pumpkins

 Searching the archives again this morning and came across this image from the Hudson Valley. I was at a Dan Burkholder workshop in October 2008 when we stumbled upon this abandoned house in front of which someone had placed the two pumpkins. I really like this image but have never felt good about the processing.  Today I am giving it a shot with selective color....might just work...
