To be honest, I was trying to photograph a rooftop icicle. I was playing around with the camera zoom when a distant shadow caught my attention. It was a hawk landing on top of a telephone pole with a pigeon in its grip.
There were people walking around below, and big vehicles scooping up the snow, but no one ever looked up. And so over the next two hours the hawk dined, unbothered, until nothing was left of its dinner.

At least that’s what these icicles reminded me of, people taking one step at a time.

though it certainly could be given the fall of snow taking place. This is simply another view of the Kleenex in its box bathed in morning light.

One of my favorite exhibits at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston is the Endless Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism by Josiah McElheny. It was installed in 2007. Over the years, I’ve paused, stared, pondered, reflected before racing on to view whatever show or exhibit I was actually at the museum to see. Oh, how I have admired the beauty, but only recently have I taken the time to photograph what was before me and to learn more about the artist’s intent, as well as about his creative journey. As I learn more, mostly what I am fascinated by is how he uses glassmaking as a storytelling tool.
Via the following PBS link you can read more about McElheny and see a short video of him at work. http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/josiah-mcelheny
