Looking down my Hill in dappled sunshine, over the green pastures and the soon-to-bud indigenous broadleaf trees, yesterday…I was thinking about the peace and quiet, here - and the not so peaceful time in Ukraine.
Here, I was standing next to a huge 150+ year old badger sett, behind my house, in which, currently, there are lots of new mothers with tiny wee new cubs, huddled in the warmth and darkness.
The differences between the two scenes, one in front of me, and the other across a continent, was jarring and heart-wrenching.
Love and light, Ukraine. 💙💛

Your valleys and your farms;
And you'll no longer [need] to be
Brothers in arms…”

This is one image in a series of studio setups I am shooting. Unlike my flower series of several years ago, which I lit with traditional lighting, I shot these with a technique called Light Painting. The technique involves hand-holding small diffused flashlights and "brush stroking” the light where you want it while the camera’s shutter is open for a long exposure. I then blend several frames together in PS using the best elements from each frame to reach the desired look. This series features hand tools. I had several hammers I had gathered over the years and started adding to the collection for this series, picking up some gears and vintage oilers for some variety.
