Diary of a Ski Patrolman: Week 10
Monday If you’ve never had bright orange and yellow tassels on your ski poles, you’re missing out big time. Not only do my newly acquired pole decorations add color to any overcast day, they instantly make me the coolest patroller on the mountain. Why else would every guest on Mountain Road turn to watch me […]

SLIDE SHOW: Lewis Hine’s Mill Photos
Photographer Lewis Hine is best known for his documentary work capturing images of child labor around the country for the National Child Labor Committee from 1908-1924. The following photographs represent some of the images he created while traveling around New England and include his field notes. Faces discovered in cranberry bogs, mills, sardine factories and […]
On last week’s trip to Maine I experienced the full range of challenging winter photo situations. With that experience in mind, I thought I’d write about the various types of light you might encounter on a winter day, and what looks best in each lighting situation. Sunrise and sunset feature colorful clouds, magenta snow, and […]

Photographing Red Foxes
I consider myself a naturalist, and I’ve found myself on a continuous quest to learn about and to experience all I can of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. I’ve been fortunate to have had some amazing experiences in the mountains, and my love of photography has grown out the desire to share some of […]

Diary of a Ski Patrolman: Week 9
Monday It’s a good thing that I was dispatching today. You see, I had the bright idea to try snowboarding yesterday afternoon. I made it down without falling on two runs. For the other six I think I fell more frequently than I stood upright. I’ve never had so much fun falling over and over […]

The Feathered Hand
Alison Hildreth has one of the finest literary imaginations of any artist I know. Her deeply personal, intuitive paintings, prints, drawings, and installations are often informed by her readings of visionary writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz, and W.G. Sebald. So it does not surprise me that The Feathered Hand, Hildreth’s wondrous exhibition […]
Welcome to the February 2011 edition of “Jud’s New England Journal,” the rather curious monthly musings of Judson Hale, editor-in-chief of Yankee Magazine, published since 1935 in Dublin, New Hampshire. Have You Ever Found Any Hippopotamus Teeth on the Beach? Some years ago, one Roy Coombs of Vinalhaven, Maine, did. Really! Sometimes our New England […]

Below Zero, Not so Cold
A week or so ago, I woke up to remember that I had forgotten to buy milk on my way home the night before. Tea without milk is no way to start the day. I reluctantly emerged from my down comforter, opened the front door, and let the dogs out. WHOA! I took a look […]

Diary of A Ski Patrolman: Week 8
Monday My car choked starting this morning. It sounded like a struggling antelope in the death grip of a fierce lion, or perhaps it was just cursing at me for turning the key. But I didn’t blame it, not one bit. After all, it was -24 degrees last night. Incredibly cold to be a ski […]
Credit: Kelly, Susan Cole I just finished reading an article about outfitting for a winter expedition in my favorite photography magazine, and wondered why they favor such extreme topics. How many people really need to equip themselves for a three-week trek to Antarctica? True, we’ve enjoyed some chilly weather this season, but most of us […]
