Finger Lakes Waterfalls

I once again had the privilege of spending some time with Tony Sweet, Susan Milestone and a group of very good photographers, this past week, in the Finger Lakes Region of New York.  I can’t give a strong enough endorsement to their workshops.  This time in particular I was still not quite at the top of my game.  Their compassion and support helped me enormously, making it possible to learn a lot, and create some art (and have a bit of fun).  You need a great subject though and for me, an ardent fan of all things water, the subject was waterfalls.  The ability off water to change the earth, overpowering it’s surroundings is impressive and should serve to remind us once again that we screw around with nature at our peril.  Nature is very very patient.  And very powerful.
