Cross-country ski tracks and cleared sidewalks cut through a fresh blanket of snow on the Middlebury College campus.

A "quiet photograph" from my portfolio Bread Loaf Seasons for Middlebury College. I made this photo with the pocket-sized Fujifilm X100s, one of my all-time favorite cameras.

Very soon the landscape of Vermont will be swimming with the rich, bold colors of fall, like in this aerial image from 2018.

My first, lasting experience with mirrorless cameras was with the Sigma DP-1 compact. It was only 16 megapixels, but because it directly sampled the colors from a scene on its multilayered sensor (instead of interpolating the colors through a Bayer filter) the images it produced were unbelievably sharp and detailed.

Unfortunately, the proprietary image format meant you had to use specialized software to edit the images and the multilayered sensor required good light to produce images with an acceptable amount of noise.

Still, it was a worthwhile camera that produced a great deal of my favorite images, including a majority of portraits from my Apple Pickers series.
