Conservation Center Photography Show -- Tree, Stream, and Early Morning Fog, Millerton NY 1964

I had the privilege during the summer of 1964 to attend a workshop given by Minor White, organized by Michael Hoffman, at the Millerton School in Dutchess County NY. One morning, instead of having a "class room" session Minor told us all to go make photographs because the fog was creating such striking visual effects. This image was made at that time and was part of the arts festival at St. Lawrence University, where I was an undergraduate, the next spring. Of course the image is very atmospheric and has endured as a visually evocative image over the years.

The image was made with a Mamiya twin lens reflex medium format camera and printed with pigment ink on Hahnemülhe photo rag paper (308gsm weight).  Image size 15.9" x 16.0".
