Dreamed Brook
Beaver Brook, Interstate 495, Littleton, Massachusetts 1987
JW 0181, 20" x 24" DYE TRANSFER PRINTS
Editioned $9,000
Artist's Proof $6,000
Dreamed Brook is for me an image unlike any other. The circumstances around finding it, its location, successive days of shooting until the fog arrived is the sort of thing that happens once. If you are lucky. And then there is its reception, the best of all my images. It was also instrumental in leading to the title of my landscape collection "The Hidden World of the Nearbv."
Images like this I view as a gift, something handed to you whereas the one following is something the photographer in me must etch out of the a mass of potential images, but only a few of which are worthy.
And for techies, it is the only image in my collection shot with a wide angle lens, the incomparable 75 mm, f 5.6, Schneider Super Angulon.

Upper Hadlock Pond is a 43 acre pond in Acadia National Park. It has beautiful mountains in the background, but otherwise is just a roadside pond. Except for this marvelous stretch of reeds and water lilies. And sky reflections. And a little wind. An essential stop on any visit to the eastern side of Maine.
BR> This print is an exceptional example of intensity of color, especially intense blues and grees, possible with dye transfer.

Ferns With Frost At Sunrise, Cambridge, Vermont 1977
JW 0133, 20" x 24" DYE TRANSFER PRINTS
Edition 45/100 $3,000
I love frost. I love ferns. I especially love ferns when they begin to turn colors in the fall. And I love back-lit scenes. This is a rare combination that required special luck since the frost would last for only a short time. Image hunting at sunrise was surely part of the job.
Textures In Grass I, Anchorage, Alaska 1977
JW 0016 20" X 24" DYE TRANSFER PRINTS
ARTIST'S PROOF $4,000
A business trip to Japan took me through Anchorage where a friend from Harvard was an attorney in the government. I dropped off my camera on the outbound stop and stand for two weeks in bound.
As was customary I wandered back roads although this time I was heading for a lake that I thought might have possibilities. However, as I arrived at the lake I spotted a black bear on the opposite shore. I did not want to say hello and despite being tired from hauling the 4x5 some distance I virtually ran back to the car.
This foxtail grass was by the roadside. Most photographs of foxtail grass show a whole field. However, the green grass imitators made this combination possible. The subtle green and pink of the foxtails I find especially beautiful.
SALT MARSH JUST BEFORE SUNSET, Near Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts 1983
JW 0065 20" x 24" DYE TRANSFER PRINT
Editioned $5,000
Some of my very first photographs were of salt marches starting in Swanzee, Massachusetts. However, none satisfied me and I began wandering north along the Massachusetts shore until I came to a sign for Crane Beach and drove a few miles until I came to this marsh. Eventually I made this photograph just as the sun was setting and I was satisfied. I believe it was some time before I came back to shoot more salt marshes but I love them.
SPRING SUNRISE III, Exit 11, Interstate 90, Millbury, Massachusetts 1985
JW 0104 20" x 24" DYE TRANSFER PRINT Editioned $4,000
Photographing trees at ground level, if they are of some magnificence and height simple does not work, unless one is interested in bark. I discovered early on that springtime when trees are going through their "flowering" period is when they are most beautiful (autumn nonwithstanding). Luck was critical hear in that I-90, locally the Mass Pike , was often elevated over the surrounding country side. If you made peace with the Turnpike police you could find your way to a location at the level of the tree canopy yet up close. The only alternatives seemed to be a bird . Heliocopters were likely to shake the buds a bit.
I had two locations, one in Weston and this one that I visited over and over and twice I caught the vernal pool exclaiming about the morning sun.
