Happy Halloween 2017

Out yesterday documenting powerline damage for the local utilities I came across the Valley Cemetery in Londonderry NH for some Halloween views.

I caught the sunlight just as it was setting and enhanced some views with a few Photoshop actions.

If it hasn’t been postponed due to the outages don’t forget the little trick or treaters tonight.

Rosie the Rocketeer

Artist Bruce Wood of the Glass Ingot allowed me to photograph one of his prized works of art “Rosie” this past summer.

I loved the use of recycled items to produce a  jet pack and all the accouterments for a beautiful Steampunk Rocketeer.

Bruce recently said on his Facebook site “My sculpture “Rosie the Rocketeer” will be in an essay for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition catalog”.
