Working Top 5 Pools

Pulaski Park

Chase Park

Avalon Park

Davis Square, 2010

Douglas Park

This is not final by any means. To make such a small edit of this large body of work I struggled to hit the sweet-spot between intimate portraits and timeless architecture with a literal in-between, showing neither.

Humboldt Park

I removed this from the third position and replaced it with Avalon.

How will I edit....? So many pics

Pools Edit Begins

Glorious working from home. Now if only someone would pay me to do photography (on my terms). I have 112 proof sheets with 416 photos from the pool project.

Back to Ada Park

Ada Park, where it all began... Now that I have photographed every pool on my list, I went back to Ada to get a self portrait.

Went back to Ada where it all started and got some better shots of the signs (da Park). I made it there for open swim. The water was deliciously cold. I met a young man (brent, 16) I whipped him in a swim race across the short end of the pool and later whipped him and and his friend to the rope. hahaha. He helped me take the above shots.
