Once, many years ago, I couldn’t figure out what to do for a project I needed to bring to an internship interview. I had just graduated from college and this was probably over twenty years ago. Digital was truly making its mark on the industry and many already accepted the fact that it was taking over film. I decided when I graduated that it was probably better for me to get a DSLR over a Hasselblad film camera. To this day I still wish I got a Hasselblad, but as digital was taking over there started to feel like digital was missing something we were all used to. That something indescribable that film did for us without thinking. So I decided to try my luck and bring my Canon 10D out and make images that looked and felt like I used film. This was not the best camera to use at the time but it made for almost perfect painterly feeling for this series. I loved how the water looks like a sheet of glass and the colors just melt together. What makes these even more special to me, cause in the end I didn’t get the internship, was that my Mom woke up at 5am with me and came along for the ride in this bitter cold March morning in Norwalk CT. Every time i see these series of images they remind me of her. Early Morning March 2004.
