Decaying, hanging fruit • click to embiggen... as Groucho Marx once opined on the subject of art:
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
You can't fool me, there ain't-a no Sanity Clause.
I am not one of those who thinks you can think too hard about what you are doing. That's only true if the act of thinking paralyses you in some way.
I do however feel strongly that we should resist the urge to define photography or art as any one thing. I see photos like pieces of writing: they fulfill functions in my life that range from the shopping list to the take-it-to-my-coffin-best-loved-poem.
So if you want to work politics into your Adirondack landscapes, good on you, and I look forward to reading your blog along the trail. I think it would be easier if you lived next to a mountaintop removal mine or a nickel smelter, but money gets everywhere, and the pols follow soon after. This is not a good time to be part of a tourist economy....
PS: if those are medlars, I thought they only became edible after a touch of rot :-)
