Harvest Series

Sometime last week, there was a shift; a subtle, nearly imperceptible change. I can't say precisely when. But it happened. It definitely happened. One night (maybe Tuesday; it's really hard to tell) without great fanfare and witnessed only by the stars, summer softly became fall.

And now it's the season of harvest. The season of gathering back in all the hope of spring and canning it for winter. The season of collecting seeds and putting roots in the dry darkness of the cellar. The season of splitting wood.

To celebrate that season, I'm working on a new series of photos called Harvest. They are simple and clean, the plentiful symbols of the season on display. Stay tuned for more new images and a post on how they were shot. And watch for prints and greeting cards from the Harvest Series to be available soon in the HLP Gallery and Store.

I had a little time yesterday afternoon to get out the old camera, slap on a macro lens and putter around in the yard for a while. It's a pretty sweet time of year to be out, lots of great things in bloom, and this is probably my last chance to play around for a while. July (which for your information starts THIS Friday. Holy Crap) is shaping up to be a ridiculously busy month with shoots scheduled in Michigan and Georgia along with a couple really cool projects in the Washburn area. Watch for some sweet new posts mid-month. Now I'm not saying anything more. You can't make me. You'll just have to check back and see for yourself. Gooooo, Summer!
