We were back in the Hudson Valley, in the marvelous town of Beacon, to make some images of a new park on the solstice. I found Brooklyn photographer James Ewing stalking the faint pre-dawn, about 5:15AM. A golden haze that had built behind the Hudson Highlands, in an instant, crested over to illuminate this little riverfront peninsula. We scrambled to make the most of the sun, searching out the best views, the right moments. The whole Saturday passed this way, really, though with less urgency than those first minutes. All across Beacon’s Long Dock Park, in a bit of solar sport, we either laid traps ahead of or chased just behind the light.

Solar Reserve by John Gerrard.

Every day on my way to and from work I pass this digital simulation. During its first days I stopped to appreciate it. Then the clouds approached the scene and it seized my attention. This contrast is unbelievably breathtaking. The juxtaposition of a modern display representing humanity’s technological advancement in an iconic city, and the ever present ubiquity of nature beckoned my awe.
