Photographs of my solar powered, off grid home in the Washington County woods of upstate NY. Earlier images were taken with a digital Sony Mavica MVC-FD95. From September 2006 I've been using a Canon 30D, and most recently (9/09) a Zenta Bronica ETRS medium format film camera.
Rebuilding in the Spring of 2001
New Red Cedar Shake Siding
This very private property is situated a 1/2 mile off the main road and although it's only 7.25 acres +/- in size, it's surrounded by almost 1,200 acres of pasture, woods, ponds and mountains! The red outline is the property, and the green one shows the 1,200 acres surrounding it, with no other homes inside the green line.
The property is located in picturesque Washington County, NY, roughly 18 miles SE of Lake George, and overlooking the Green Mountains on the Vermont border. It's also on a club sponsored ATV trail system with over 60 miles of groomed trails.

Life
has no other discipline to impose, if we would
but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut
our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate
or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful,
evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an
open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize
it as such.
Henry
Miller (1891-1980), U.S. author. (First published 1940).
