Friday was my last day at the lake and even though I’m so ready to get back into the hectic lifestyle of being an art student, I know I’ll miss the lake a month or so from now. I’ll miss being the first one wake up and be out the door before the sun rises. I’ll miss riding my tractor every single morning. And I’ll definitely miss sitting in the sun all day listening to good music and reading books until my brain can’t take it no more. I took this photo on the last day I worked at the lake. It was as if God made the morning extra beautiful just for me. The air was crisp and the water was warm; creating a thick fog with romantic morning light creeping in from behind. I guess I wouldn’t normally make an Ansel Adams-ish photograph such as this one, due to the overwhelming abuse of such images on the walls of almost every Vermont gallery and restaurant. Seriously, do we need more photographs of mountains and clouds? Yet this is more of a keepsake photograph if you will; visual proof of where I have been and who I was during the summer of 2009…
