The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

The woods are lovely ...

Wanting some time, both with a camera and in the woods, Preservation Park, close to home on a foggy last day of fall was the perfect spot for a morning wander ...

curious dark 'n deep

Walking along the edges of the forest, my eye is always drawn further in, past the sunlight, and deeper into the shadows.

In Cold Darkness


I had an opportunity for a return visit to the abandoned Massey Ferguson complex in Brantford (again with authorized access) this past weekend. A monthly photo challenge to make a self portrait and a suggestion to use this location as the setting came together nicely and resulted in the image above ...

I had planned to find a dramatically lit corner or alcove to work with off-camera strobes, something that I have yet to become competent with. After going directly to a location I knew of from the previous visit and working there for some time, I did not have what I was looking for. Picking up my gear, I went back into a large room where sunlight was beaming through holes in the dilapidated structure. There was a particular spot I had noticed on my way in, I would set up to use a beam of light isolate my profile in the darkness.

The air was frigid and still. Stepping into the light, the steam of my breath hung in the air ... click ... the image was frozen.
