Visited a new daycare I will be working with this fall, right down the street from the Newton Lower Falls, so a quick stop.

One photo per day. No skipping days. The photo is usually taken that day, but not always – today it was processed.

I developed a few rolls of film I shot this week. I had space for one more in the container, so I grabbed one from the pile of found film — rolls I discovered while cataloging the cameras a few months back. This was a C-41 black-and-white roll. No idea what was on it, I only knew it was mine, some belongings to people who donated cameras.

Turns out it’s from 2021. This frame 5A was taken exactly five years ago today, May 22, 2021, during my trip to Iceland. The rest of the roll over the week-long trip. I have no memory of taking a film camera on that trip. I’m not even sure what camera these were taken with – my guess would be a Canon AE-1. I must have opened the camera and exposed the roll before it was done.

I only have 10 frames, then I ruined the negatives. Judging by the frame numbers and my memory of the trip, frame 5A was taken after midnight – 20 hours of daylight this time of year. I camped at that spot after my hike to the plane frames 3A and 4A. I have a color version of the waterfall taken with the Nikon hanging in my living room, called Skógafoss at Midnight. This might be my favorite photo I have taken of Skógafoss. I think I will print it tomorrow.

This Friday night at the Medway Parks and Recreation building (formerly the VFW), the Medway Art Association will hold its second annual show. The theme is Amber — open to any interpretation of the word. Personally, I’m leaning toward the idea of time.

As for the photo above, it quite literally “ambered” itself. I was asked to offer this image for the event, so we gave it a warm yellow-orange tone and printed it large for display. It’s also part of an interactive activity planned for guests — with a limited one-of-a-kind, framed version being raffled off.

In addition to the Amber-themed pieces, artists will have a variety of other works on display. I’ll be showing selections from my Down series of metal prints.

My third year at the Puckihuddle Daycare, which has this beautiful dam behind it in Upton. The drought is still noticeable. The first year, it was much different.

I was in Wellsely for lunch today. On my way home, I stopped at the South Natick Dam for some photos.
