Wire art series #8 - Top Hat, ca. early 1990's, photographed April 25, 2009

About fifteen years ago I started playing around bending wire into bird, animal, and human figures and some inanimate figures as well. Back in April I was showing some of them to Kate and with her encouragement we spent a sunny morning photographing them. I'm presenting a few of those images in a series here.

An image of this guy appeared on a special edition cover of Wired Magazine a few years ago. Wired published a special run of 100 with individual subscribers pictures on the cover of their magazine that month. I submitted a photo of this guy as my photo and it was accepted. Fun.

Night camp

On my property off Less Traveled Road - The Home Place, Red Rock, East Chatham NY

• I used to camp in a few locations on what little I had left of the family farm
  • In the driveway by the house
  • Across the road where the barn once stood
  • On the 20 acre piece off Less Traveled Road
• Now, with the kind support of the friends who now own the place, I camp across the road where the barn once stood.
• Verizon cell phone service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
• Verizon EVDO service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
