Wednesday, I’m going to the Image Loft in Manchester, Vt. to sign some of the photos to be framed and shown in my first photo show, “Portraits Of My Life,” opening at 3 p.m. Saturday, January 9, at the Redux Gallery in Dorset, Vt. This is my first photo show, and I’m excited about it.

The show features a wide range of photos – about 19 in all – and I define portraits loosely. Some are of dogs, some of trucks, others of farmhouses and barns. All are portraits of my life here in Washington County and on Bedlam Farm. We are hoping to sell some of the photos as cheaply as possible, around $200 and others will be somewhat more expensive. The show is free and open to the public. No pressure to buy anything. The photos will hang in the new Redux Gallery Annex through January. I will give a series of talks, if there are enough people, about my photography and how it has affected my creative life. Izzy will be on hand to greet his many adoring fans.
