I have decided to do the Berlin project as it is sort of an open ended , expressive, personal, art statement. My medium is my own digital photography, edited and arranged with words, in Photoshop. The following image series is made by selecting from my own photos. I have been documenting photographically where I live at this moment in time. I have literally 100's of photos of Croton and the river towns. Portraits of the suburbs, the Hudson River in all kinds of weather, and life in these Hudson River towns at the turn of the milenium. Additionally, I have been closely watching the news coverage of the Nuclear Disaster in Japan. It is all so sad, so frightening, and still ongoing. My thoughts and prayers are with the people there. It resonates deeply. I am keenly aware that the town I live in and the neighboring Rivertowns are also the neighbors of the Indian Point Nuclear Facility. My neighborhood is within a few miles of the plant. The series here is about those feelings and thoughts. The opening photo, for instance , is my literal backyard.
