Winter is decidedly on its way out in these parts, but I couldn’t resist giving it one last parting glance this afternoon as I reviewed some photos I shot near Ivoryton, Connecticut in late February.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a photographer from an early age, at least since my grandmother passed along to me my grandfather’s old Leica, if not before. \u00a0I use photography as a research and compositional tool. Much of the inspiration for my paintings comes, directly or indirectly, from photographs I’ve taken of beautiful places.<\/p>\n

I’ve just uploaded to my flickr account<\/a> (and also Behance<\/a>) a selection of 20 photos that capture the beauty of that winter day. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
