Escalator

I used to make photographs.

To many, photography is a way of making a visual record, a documenting tool.

Not to me. It’s an art medium, a tool to manipulate the scene, light and objects and angles and time, so that you paint what you want to paint.

I used to just get out there, with no clear destination, me with my camera, and paint beauty.

Now the camera has become too heavy, my schedule has become too tight, and I’ve become lazy. And there’s probably fungus growing on my lenses.

Maybe next week I’ll make some photographs. Just maybe.

Escalator at Wheelock Place, taken 2 years ago. Not like anyone can tell.
