Western Massachusetts Landscapes, February 2007.

These photos were taken on a particular day in February '07, the day my wife and I went to make arrangements to have our camper scrapped. Knowing how beautiful the Berkshires are, naturally I had to bring the camera. As a photographer, I'd never worked with such huge, sweeping views, so these photos seem more like some of my very earliest landscapes, but they're really not. Despite the slightly "rough edges," I'm quite happy with these.
