I have always been drawn to the meditative quality of the waters of the Hudson River and the sacred aspects of the natural environment. The dramatic play of light on the landscape, reflective water, and monotone colors were inspired by the Luminist Movement of the 1850’s. This series recalls a more romantic era when God and Nature were viewed as one.

This photographic series depicts the James Strates Carnival Train, the only carnival railroad still operating in the United States that travels the East Coast. It is an exciting part of the nostalgia found at the New York State Fair.
