In addition to my November visit to Texas, I’ve continued work on the As We Are Now series closer to home in upstate New York. I’m continuing to explore the subject of modern cemetery folk art from a somewhat broader (and hopefully deeper) perspective. While I’m very interested in the subject matter itself, I’m more sensitive these days to context – to the settings that may surround the folk art I’m photographing. Given the time of year, the weather and fall foliage often became an ingredient in this collection of images.
