Blog: Impressions

Welcome to my Blog: Impressions

I named my blog Impressions because it’s a word that often comes up in how I think about my work. As an old-world immigrant exploring a new-world landscape, my photographs reflect my impressions of my new home - my way of making sense of my surroundings while also searching for familiar traces of the home I left behind.

This blog is more than just a blog. It’s a place where I share my impressions of the world through my camera. I hope you enjoy it.

Rising Colors

August went by in the blink of an eye. It was a great month, with a bit of travel, some quality time with family, as well as a few more memorable moments behind the camera. Since the month was bookended by two very different balloon festivals here’s a little blog post about hot air balloons and my chance to play with color, light, and perspective in a joyful and whimsical way.

A Journey to Pine Hill

This weekend I proudly opened my first solo photography exhibition in the Catskills and it couldn’t have gone any better. ”Journeys: Chasing Light in the Catskills” is an exhibition of stories and photographs documenting my adventures in the Catskills since January 2023. Thank you to everyone who came out to the opening, bought my work and made contacts so that we can plan where to take it next.

If you haven’t been ably to make it there yet, no worries as the show will be on the walls until Saturday 11th October.

Memorable Moments

Well it's that time of year - a time for tedious round ups and look backs over the last 12 months! I'm normally a little disdainful of that sort of activity, preferring to live, as I always do, in the moment and looking forward to what might come to excite in the future…
