"As the sun sets, the dining room always gets amazing
light."
In the summer of 2005, I put together a collection of images taken over the course
of three years in Connecticut, where I live and work, and New Jersey, where my
family has spent summers since I was a child. I used the Olympus E-1 or the E-300
(EVOLT 300) for nearly all of the shots.
The boy on the chair in this photo is my son, George, who was seven at the time.
The shadow is my son, Harry, who was nine at the time. The picture was taken
at our house at the beach in New Jersey where I have been going for over 40 years.
I know the way the light hits the house at almost any given time of day in the
summer months.
This picture was taken in July. As the sun sets, the dining room always gets
amazing light, as long as the hedge outside hasn't been neglected and grown so
high it blocks the light. The boys had come back from the beach and were waiting
for supper, and I caught them there in this light with Harry as just a shadow.
I took about ten frames before the sun went behind the hedge and the light in
the room turned dull.
