My father George Waldman is a very accomplished freelance photographer. He's new to Maine, and has just put up his local web site. Photojournalist portraiture is a great strength of his work.
If you are an artist needing shots of yourself working, a gallery interested in showing photography, or an organization in need of an excellent photographer (light-stalker) I hope you'll give him a call.

Brief Highlights:

Since moving to Maine George has had this image of a dentist working in Bath appear in The New York Times
He did some "action shots" of Charlie and I in the the studio that we have used in all our Press and promo. They can be seen on my blog

Yesterdays "after" is Today's "before":

Here we go again! a second wave of wall abolishment has begun. Spring is in the air and thaw has spurned us to rip out walls that kept us so snug and warm through the winter, and let the sunlight in. Our river whose huge flats of ice could be heard breaking, cracking dramatically these past two months have finally thawed and in the morning huge chunks of ice wash out to sea. It's a tidal river so in the afternoon this unwelcome flotilla returns. Other things have thawed as well. Our tenants relationship broke with a seismic "F-YOU" which boomed out and could be heard throughout all houses. this was speedily followed by an exodus people (not all pets), and bare neccesities (any one need a chainsaw,TV, and computer? we'll handle the dog poo).
Crocus sprouted and their sunny blossoms followed today. There may be a blizzard in N Dakota, (and it actually snowed last night 45 min's inland of us), but right here and right now it is mud season, and it is glorious. Sunny and above 35 degrees with the prospect of other tulips and bulbs to follow. I stood outside yesterday surveying my Queen-dom. Feeling satisfied I dubbed it lovely. Eagles soared overhead, and in the distance I could hear the sound of mired wheels spinning as someone fought to extricate themselves from some muck. AH YES!

I have all kinds of respect for the Eskimo today. I already liked Inuit art work, now I realize I liked their architecture too. I've been thinking about building an igloo lately, and went online to get some tips...Wow. I'm not sure I'm up for it. There is exertion involved.
I now know why these guys were fine with eating whale blubber. According to our narrator they build this in 40 min.

Eat your heart out Andy Goldsworthy...it's a great design...
Anybody ever seen "living is round" ?



how about "fishing with John" ? This is where Jim Jarmusch got the narrator .

He describes igloo building at one point as a "ticklish situation".
