snowleaf

i went for a run this morn, and noticed the interesting contrast between the fallen leaves, and the melting snow (humm.. snow / a little too early for my taste). so i picked up the canon, and went for a walk. this is what i ended up with. reminds me of a simple elegant dessert / something i have yet to master.

i was doing some house cleaning due to the snowy weather, and came across my portrait of boise lechner. he was quite the character. this was shot at his farm south of oxbow in the late 80's, as part of a portrait series i was doing, fresh out of ryerson. around the same time, i was lucky enough to work on a project with writer W.P. Kinsella (field of dreams fellow). he had met boise, and i think they connected. i remember sending bill this shot a few years ago, and i know it brought back some fond memories for him. and it does the same for me.
