Christmas Day
Humphrey Crossing to Butte House Road
Inspired by Tim Carpenter’s Christmas Day, Bucks Pond Road and Susanne Helmert’s My Visual Journal collection.
The photographs below were all made on a single winter afternoon bike ride along a 3-mile stretch of the nearby path by my in-law’s home. By documenting and sharing this rather mundane experience in chronological order, the viewer gets a glimpse of what I see along the way from point A to point B. I hope you enjoy the ride ~
“Unlike any other aesthetic object, the photograph is a thing that embodies transience: it is an action made of time (its brief duration noted on the shutter setting) that results in a thing that endures in time. This peculiarity is one source of its unique power.” - Tim Carpenter, To Photograph Is To Learn How To Die
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Tim Carpenter and that it must be an homage to him. That I gave a little inspiration here too makes me happy! It was a beautiful ride. Quiet observations. Thank you!
Nice man! Very much in the stylings of Christmas Day, Bucks Pond Road 👌🖤📷
