Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Around the time I took this the weather was bad and I wasn’t getting out much. So thinking of Josef Sudek I took a few pictures in the garden.
Actually it’s not really a statue. It’s a fountain, but the water part of it has not worked for some time. I think it’s just that the pump needs to be replaced, but I never seem to get around to it.
Taken with a Sony A500 and Tamron A18 AF 18-250mm f3.5-6.3.
Taken at Rockwood Hall. It was late in the afternoon and the light was golden as the sun went down over the Palisades. I tried a low angle to emphasize their mass. The first couple of shots I took excluded the trees in the background, but I decided that a few of them gave more of a sense of distance.

We concluded our trip to Muscoot Farm with a stop at the New Croton Dam. We’d had some rain and quite a lot of snow melt so the falls were in good form.

Interesting implements and textures.
Taken with a Sony Nex 5N and 16mm f2.8 (possibly with the wide angle attachment. I don’t remember and the camera doesn’t record the presence of the attachment).
We’d been visiting the old dairy barn and just as we were leaving the farm workers were bringing in the cows from the field to the barn. This brought back memories. My paternal grandmother owned a farm and when I was young (and before she sold the land for development) I remember her doing exactly the same thing.
It also solved a bit of a mystery. A while back I took a picture at Muscoot of some chains attached to wooden posts (see: Chains). At the time I didn’t know what their purpose was. Now I do. The’re used to make a corridor for the cows to pass through on their way into the barn.
