It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Geraniums, The Olsen House
I was running around today getting stuff for rebuilding the chimney, so no new photo today. I was looking through some older images - this was actually shot with film some years ago. It is a detail shot of one window in the Olsen House, in Cushing, Maine, where Andrew Wyeth painted a number of his famous paintings. The really cool thing is that the house is owned by the Farnsworth Museum, and you can go walk through the house and see just where Wyeth painted a particular painting. They have 8x10 framed reproductions of paintings done there, located at the exact site in the building. It is SO amazing to be standing where Wyeth stood and see what he saw. It is a very powerful experience. This is just a shot I did outside - I don't think it has any of the feeling for the house as Andrew Wyeth painted it.
LOVE this photo! Color contrasts, composition! WONDERFUL! Thank you for so many inspirational photographs.
