From the introduction:
“...
I found myself being enthralled with the changing season this year.
And from early October to December, I found I had something
of a
chronicle
of the Fall. For the first time since coming to Rockland county from
Brooklyn in 2001, I truly observed the changing season. There was a
part of me telling
me to take a step back from a stressful personal and professional
season and take in more deeply the world around me...”

A
Rockland Fall is a Self-Published
Photobook entirely produced and created by me, begining with
my own digital photography. What started as almost an ADD-influenced “ooooh,
shiny” moment, led into a meditation against the slings
and arrows of both outrageous and day-to-day fortune, which became
a body of work
that was possibly worth sharing. The images were captured with
a Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph, a rather modest and relatively
ancient
2 megapixel camera by current standards
Images
were processed in Adobe Photoshop CS2. Image processing was done with
a light hand, only color correction was applied with some minimal sharpening
and despeckleing. The book was laid out and produced in Adobe InDesign
CS2, a truly superior page layout tool that allowed me to very swiftly
and professionally prepare this material. The self-publishing site Lulu provided
print and publishing services.
