I recently visited the Mellwood Art Center in Louisville. Upon walking through the facility, I immediately knew I wanted to photograph it in square B&W.

All things considered, I really want to finish this project. Accidentally, it began when I moved to the Cincinnati area and started photographing towns along the Ohio River. Eventually, I realized I had a project.
Last year, Lin and I were mesmerized by an eagle camera near our home. A little over one mile away, as the eagle flies, the Little Miami Conservancy installed a camera above an eagle nest. From Winter into Spring, we watched a pair of eagles build up the nest, lay two eggs, watched them hatch, and raise the two eaglets until they fledged and disappeared on their own journey.
Parent eagles looking over their approximately two-week old chicks. April 12, 2022.May 23, 2022. The eaglets are starting to test their wings. They will be in the nest until July.
And now, the eagles are back. The camera is live. And, one egg was laid on Feb. 11, and a second egg laid on Valentine’s Day … captured on camera of course. It’s fascinating. Mesmerizing.
February 11, 2023, the eagles have returned and have laid one egg. Will there be more?
We live in a world where cameras are everywhere. We carry them in our pocket. Not much escapes the scrutiny of a camera somewhere, including our front doors. Itโs like a George Orwellian fiction come true.
