Display in Saratoga Health & Wellness (ongoing)

 I work out at Saratoga Health and Wellness on Maple Ave in Saratoga Springs, NY. A few years ago, I asked the co-owners Nick and Mike if I could display photos on two walls in the main exercise room, and it’s been a regular feature ever since. I replace individual canvas prints every so often, which keeps the display fresh, adding newly printed ones to ones that have been displayed before. Since making the transition from ‘regular’ photos to abstract photography, I’ve been alternating between the two, but the abstract photos have surprised me how well they have been received. There are typically 8-12 displayed, and here I showcase the latest ones.  All canvas prints are for sale—please contact me  or Nick, or Mike if you are interested in purchasing any of them. 
As new ones are added, I’ll drop ones that have been replaced.

Not all the currently displayed photos are shown here yet.coming soon..

Pebble Sky.  This is the reflecting pool at the Clark Institute in Williamstown, MA. If you were to turn it upside down, you'd actually recognize the pebbles, and the trees opposite reflected in the water. 
This was taken in October 2015 right on my front porch. Actually, I just was photographing the sky, and until I looked at it on my computer, I didn't realize there were Canada geese flying south. 
This photo was taken in May, 2016 in Hawes, North Yorkshire (UK). You may have seen a version of this with the sun behind it, looking like a winter scene. This one is the original shot. I liked two things about it, one of course was the huge tree and the teensy sheep. The other was that it's two separate trees that have merged into one.
It's hard to title this one, and in the end I called it "Prelude in C Major." Don't ask me why, other than I think abstract photos shouldn't just be called 'Untitled.'  I took several shots at the abandoned water mill in Rock City Falls, and this combines a photo through a window with a broken screen, as well as cracked pavement there. Maybe someone has a better title, and is willing to share it. 
"Abandoned Window". Another image taken at the Rock City Falls water mill. This one taken with my Canon R5 which combines up to 9 shots within the same image. Each shot was taken at a different magnification. That's a blanket inside the frame, not one I'd care to sleep on.
'Morning has broken.'  This is a multiple exposure. My intent was to capture a dawn with a foreground of trees and leaves, against a sky that hinted at storms to come.
The sea at Block Island (Rhode Island) in 2017.  I'm not sure it's a great photo, but I wanted to remember what the ocean looked like to remind me of a very happy visit.
The original of this photo was taken March, 2024. There were leaves caught in fronds of algae on my pond. You can also see some water lilies in the mix. I liked the flowing movement of the algae that gave the composition an impressionist feeling, as if painted in France..
