I have a favorite spot on Lake Winnipesaukee where I photograph water reflected images that express in me a feeling of the place where I spent the summers of my youth. For the past 7 years I have been working on abstractions of water reflections on the lake. In my earlier photographs I shot the fall foliage, when the light and color was just right for reflections. Later, I expanded my subject matter to include boats, buoys and other objects continuing to create an image unrecognizable from the original reflected object. Water has a natural quality that changes in form from “wavy and to smooth, delicate and fluffy, to detailed and abstract. They’re fun to look at just to ponder what shapes you can see in it.” (Cole O’Brien, age 13) My photographs can range from ghostly shaped portraits, to abstract landscapes reminiscent of color field painting. What a person sees can change from person to person coming from one’s own visual memories and experiences..
