Some of you may remember my chasing sunsets with my beautiful dog Izzy, who would hop out of the car and watch me set up my camera and dodge trucks and cars by the side of country roads. Today I was chasing sunsets with Maria and Red and I was rewarded with the sun falling behind this big flag on the old Hanks Farm on Hanks Road in Salem, N.Y. I am a warrior for light since Izzy’s time, but I always think of Izzy when I was out driving around those cold and wind country roads. He always charmed the farmers who would appear out of nowhere with rifles, wondering what a stranger was doing with a fancy camera near their cows and barns. It’s just me and Izzy, I would say, chasing sunsets.
