Medusa

A love letter to the mountains

Landscape film photography

A love letter to the mountains.

This work is a reflection of the rural landscape of the upstate New York hamlet of Medusa, an unincorporated community. Part of the town of Rensselaerville, home of Richard Prince, it is a working farm community whose specialty crop is award-winning garlic.

Medusa is draped across a valley near Windham Mountain. The pictures themselves are a color essay of rural days and nights, steeped in the influence of William Carlos Williams and Milton Avery. Printed from hand-processed negatives on RA4 paper and shot mostly in the early morning and late afternoon.
