Vertical black and white full length portrait of my intellectually disabled adult brother. He is out on the street on a rainy day holding a large black umbrella over his head with both hands because he lacks the strength to hold it with one. Looped around one hand is a leash, on the other end of which is my dog, Lincoln, a 40 lb, pointy eared, dark colored mutt. My brother is looking to our left and the dog is looking to the right. The street is wet and the background is of some small trees, a telephone pole with wires leading left and right, and a very grey sky.

Black and white photo of a man standing among the assortment of hobby horses that have been left in the corner of a piece of farmland over the years. This landmark is colloquially known as “Pony Henge” or “Ponyhenge.” The environment is of low growth surrounded, at a distance, by trees. The man is at some distance from the camera, is wearing dark clothing and a dark hat, he has dark glasses on and has his hands in his pockets. The hobby horses a variously made of wood or plastic. Some are rocking horses and some get their motion by behind suspended from a frame with springs.

#brotherStew and I visited #ponyHenge in Lincoln, MA yesterday. Here’s 3 from that sesh. #family #whatAreYouThinking #blackAndWhite #photography

Black and white full length portrait of my intellectually disabled older brother. He is standing behind our white clapboard siding house. He is looking to the viewer’s left and has his arms folded awkwardly, almost as if he is cold (he’s not: it’s 80ºF right now). He is wearing vertically striped apron, a dark short sleeved shirt, dark pants, dark eyeglasses, and a wristwatch. To his side, part of an adirondack chair is visible. The grass he is standing on is long and should be mowed. It is a sunny day but has been augmented with some strobe lighting.

#brotherStew and I are prepping some bread dough for baking tomorrow morning. In between stretch and folds, we popped outside for some location lighting tests. #family #bread #baking #locationPortrait #photography #blackAndWhite
