Mattatuck Trail, Warren, Connecticut.
This ice is on a small stream feeding into the Shepaug River. The stream doesn't have a steep grade and this is part of what makes interesting ice formations (slow moving water).
I took too many images during the hour I spent here and many weren't in focus although with ice it's tough to sort that out. This collection is a cross section of the different types of crystallization I found that day.

We took a quick trip into New York to see the Degas Monoprint show at MoMA which is ending this weekend. If you're within striking distance, this show is highly recommended.
Degas was one of the first artists to really let out all the stops on multiple types of manipulation(s) to a print after it comes off the press. A single etching comes off, then he draws on it and it's a one of a kind. That's what a mono print is all about.
The show is incredible, well worth seeing.
I had planned to see this show earlier in the summer but as many of you know, my mother passed away and we got busy with all that that kind of event brings (burial, dealing with her house, belongings, and "estate").
We came back from Los Angeles just in time to catch this show and both Anne and I loved it.
So, this high contrast Ricoh GR shot of a glass of water at dinner last night is my reference marker for Degas' amazing mono prints.
The show catalog is up on Amazon ($5 cheaper than it was at MoMA) and while I don't think it's anywhere near what the show was, it might be worth checking out if you're into this kind of printmaking.
Anyone who shoots high contrast images with the Ricoh GR needs to see this work for sure. It pre-dates the current crop of high contrast work by 150 years and Degas was a master of moving composition (he's famous for his ballet dancers but he drew all kinds of people doing all kinds of things).

I am midge ured out and can't be fussed with photos and things, I am very happy with MU's shots from last night's gig , sure they are grainy, exposure is stuffed but the moments captured I am very happy with, I recon I deserve some rest so, Charlie , say cheese ..
.. as a side note, it is almost indecent, obscene that these days you can produce a shot like this one simply by fiddling with a few sliders and buttons, with film I would be beside myself if I could create a print like this one , now it's nothing more than a lazy way out of PaD, this is wrong !
...all around.
what an adorable little imp. how'd i get so lucky?
yes, she is definitely a pie...precocious to say the least.
"Magpies are believed to be one of the most intelligent of all animals: the European Magpie is one of the few animal species known to be able to recognize itself in a mirror test."
