Maynard Town Clock Portraits

The weather seems to know when I’m watching. I left my Thursday office gig and noticed that the light was particularly nice on the Mill here in Maynard. So I raced home to get my gear and headed back to the parking garage to get a shot of the clock and stormy background. And wouldn’t you know the light in the foreground vanished while I was winding my way up the parking garage levels. (This is only painful because I went through the EXACT same situation about a month ago… You start to wonder…)

Well, unlike a month ago the light wasn’t a total failure and in some ways was superior because the clock is painted white and this way the contrast was pretty well contained.

If you want to see more, I have a bunch of photos in my community gallery.

New gallery page - Community Photographs

I spent the weekend shooting a few thousand photos at a number of community events and it occurred to me that a rather significant portion of my “portfolio” consists of these types of images.

These aren’t my bread and butter (not that my bread and butter photographs are making any significant bread or butter), but it seemed a darn shame to have them all cooped up in my library. So, I created community.dmg-photography.com, joining smac.dmg-photography.com and harmony.dmg-photography.com as my third “non-nature photography” gallery. I’ll be posting images from events that I photograph (by chance or by invitation).

I’m still working through the workflow mechanics to make sure I do it properly, but I’m likely going to change all of the copyrights and use policy on the community subdomain use the Creative Commons license. This will let folks freely use the images in any, non-commercial, way they want.

I’m also cross-posting some of these photos with the local newspaper because they have far better exposure than I do, and it lets people know about the events and groups associated with it.
