What Professional Photographers create on their day off.

Introduction

Photographers do not turn off. They do not retire or shut down. They create. Endlessly and without rest. Photojournalists are no exception. They spend much of their days illuminating other peoples lives and stories. This journal is to serve as a chronicle of what working photojournalists create on their own days off ...their sixth day.

Stripped

Thomas A. Ferrara

Stripped, stark, skinned, spartan, standing there in rows, muted pillars in an alien landscape. Cut low as if by capricious whim. What happened here?

The SHADOW knows!

Seriously, they look like Sycamore trees, that sometimes are trimmed back like this every 10 years or so. Then in the spring new shoots come out of the "knuckles" at the ends of the branches. Best example of that on Long Island are the trees lining Shore Road, between the Glenwood Landing power plant, and Sea Cliff.

Where did you find these?

Exactly what I thought, Mr. Magic, having lived in Sea Cliff for six years and missing walks along Shore Road. Quite a stark and compelling photograph, Tom!
