Field Notes

A place for observations from everyday walks: changing light, quiet streets, and the details that are easy to miss when there is somewhere to be.

Walking without a destination

The most interesting route is often the familiar one taken a little more slowly. A different time of day changes the shadows and brings new sounds. Leaving the camera in a pocket for the first few minutes helps, too.

Keeping a notebook

A few words at the end of a walk can preserve more than a collection of photographs. The weather, a turn in the path, a conversation overheard: small things become useful reminders of a particular afternoon.
