I posted a little back ago about going back to make those type f pictures for which I did fall in love with photography almost two decades ago. Basically I went back to my first ever influence, Henri Cartier Bresson, a process that has taken some few years and a lot of learning in order to come back some how full circle. This time, I am pointing the lens at one of the places I do really enjoy anytime of the year, the Port Washington Marina or Harbor in Wisconsin, a place that I did set myself to portrait from every possible corner as much as I can in order to write what I will call "a visual love letter" to the place where Lake Michigan and the town of Port seem to really meet in many ways. So far I am giving the first steps but confident, not only because I have found the way I want to portrait this place (after trying with pinhole, digital color and even painting) but also because I am having a great time and it feels good in many ways.

Reversing the nature for which I have not been able to make photographs this past week (because of the rain and the camera issues) I took advantage to process my 3 first rolls since I started this project and really happy with some of the results, from which I share the above examples here. More to come, stay tuned.
