Bat Mitzvah at de Seversky Mansion

If you follow the blog from time to time, you may remember Rachel. Her parents commissioned me to photograph her for her Bat Mitzvah several months ago. Rachel has an attention deficit disorder and back then we weren’t sure how much or how little photography we would do. It was all up to Rachel. The big day has come and gone and Rachel was amazing. It was so great I will be posting about her in 2 parts – this is part one. Initially we did a casual session for a sign in board. But what we ended up with was much more. We used 5 of the images from our session to customize the wall decor at de Seversky Mansion and make the space all about Rachel. I set up a camera on a tripod with a time lapse remote control so you could get a glimpse of the installation process. And I have included the original image and the final interpretation created for the space to give you a feel for how each image is customized for the environment.

Road Trip

Out of the blue, one month ago, a classmate from college, Scott Chaney, called up and wanted to know if I was available for a week long road trip. Scott still shoots 4 x 5 sheet film which requires a ton of gear, lighting and other stuff. I don’t drive manual transmission, so I got to snap a few while Scott drove the whole way…From Long Island onto New Jersey and then through Pennsylvania to Southern Ohio past many many cornfields, and then it was through Indiana up to Illinois just North of Chicago. I tucked my point and shoot into my coat and here are just a few…

I packed up the car with good food, including the last of the most delicious Long Island peaches I have ever tasted, and hit the road yesterday. In part I thought I would see what had become of my childhood sleep away camp – Camp Ella Fohs, in New Milford CT. It was totally gorgeous and sunny and a great day for adventure. After New Milford it was on to Kent, CT then Rhinebeck NY.

Camp Ella Fohs Pond fence

I was sad to learn the pond has been hidden behind this fence for years and it seems no trace whatsoever is left of the camp. It may have been closed by the 1980′s – it moved to New Milford in the 1920′s. I managed to peek through a hole in the fence.

Then it was on to Kent CT, then Rhinebeck NY..then back to Long Island over the Whitsetone Bridge, where I quickly snapped the traffic (horizontal lines) and a moon one day after its fullness (the vertical line).
