And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione
I’m final getting around to scanning some of the images I’ve been taking with my Leica M. It really fun getting back to film. This image is of Charly and his dad early this spring. His dad loved wandering the grounds and investigating things while Charly was doing a run of maple syrup, you could tell he was at home wandering around.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
