I have just added three more galleries to my website.
One is from the "Boiler Room" at Mass MOCA (rusting machinery in the former Sprague Electric Company), another is rock patterns on Pemaquid Point in Maine, and the third is a return visit this year to Plum Island at low tide.

Thanks Eric,
Very different and superb stuff between the industrial photos from Boiler Room and the textures of Plum Island and shapes/textures of Pemaquid.

Beautiful tones, texture and movement.

beautiful work

Lovely Eric.

Thanks for the comments everybody.
I do have fun with the camera, and that's what it's all about, IMHO.
-
Bravo!, Eric. And yes: that's what it's all about.
-
Good stuff, Eric!

How do you get so many great images from the same location? One or two from the odd, lengthy shoot would be good, but this....? It's a masterclass.

That's very kind of you to say that, Seamus.
Up until maybe fifteen years ago all of my best photos were singles, that is, I'd happen to be in a good place when the light was right and something worked. At some point I started trying to put together bunches of pictures from the same location, and as I've heard others say, I've found that going back over and over to familiar places often yields new images that don't just totally duplicate what I've seen there before.
Plum Island in Massachusetts is my extreme example. I had been going there for many years before I got a single photo that I liked. Then one day I was there in late afternoon, with a low sun, as the tide was ebbing, and the place suddenly seemed magic. I now go back there a few times each year when the conditions are pretty much the same, usually in the winter when there are fewer people there to leave footprints.
This past year I think I was especially lucky to encounter several new places that seemed immediately like visual "candy factories:" The Boiler room at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the Boston Waterworks Museum, plus a few others.
The kind of street photos that you come up with I have great admiration for. I find that kind of photography much harder than what I do.
Cheers,
Eric

Eric,
I finally got a bit of time to go through the new galleries. Very nice! I am particularly fond of Plum Island.

Thanks, Chuck. That's one of my favorite locations, and easy to get back to.
Which reminds me: It's time for me to check the tide tables again...
