My graffiti tag name I chose was Flow because I tend to go with the flow of things and readjust to changes throughout my life. At times I've lost my ability to take a step back and see where I'm headed, but overall, I've come to believe that if I am grounded in my core values, it doesn't really matter where I'm headed - as long as I enjoy the flow of my journey, I'll be okay.

I am exploring the flow of wood. I’m fascinated with how wood flows like water and then lignifies, looking like glaciers, whirlpools, pillows, and having intriguing textures. I love the idea of frozen movement. I imagine the force of water resisting the external forces on the tree, like water careening through rocks and other obstacles.
1.6 second exposure to smooth the flow of the water around the rocks. Was taken on a sunny day so a shutter speed any longer was over exposed. Taken when the river was low under bridge so i could get as much shade as possible for a long exposure and so i could also find exposed rocks for the effect of the water flowing around it. Using a tripod to keep camera steady.
Starting in December 2008, I started taking regular photos of the same spot on the Charles River, along Greenough Boulevard in Watertown, looking at the Allston neighborhood of Boston to the east.
At first, I tried getting a photo of this spot once a month, to track the progression of the seasons. Then, in Fall 2009, I started getting more frequent photos, to record the rapidly changing autumn foliage.
From then on, I've continued to try to get photos of this spot on a regular basis. Not daily, but usually at least 2-4 times a week. I plan to go on doing these this way indefinitely, for as long as I'm spending regular time in the area. We'll see how this goes.
