Rosie and I took a trip over to Shelburne Falls this weekend to take some photos of cool stuff (like, say, a bridge covered in flowers [photo!] and prehistoric glacial potholes [photo!]). I also took 10 frames with the intention of making this somewhat erratic panorama of the falls using Photoshop’s photomerge feature.

It’s a little messier than previous panoramas I’ve done, but that was on purpose. I wanted to create the look of overlaying a bunch of photo prints to create a collage image, inspired by a great Hurricane Katrina retrospective CNN did recently.

The difference is that I didn’t choose the Blend Images Together option, which is why you see such distinct lines between the frames, and I went with Reposition for the layout, whereas in the past I’ve chosen Perspective or Spherical for panoramas.

Anyway, there are a few more images over on my Flickr page.

One fish, two fish? (three fish?), originally uploaded by sp.sullivan.

I took this through the glass at the Our Hudson Home exhibit at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ last weekend. I love the expression on the puffer fish’s face, and the way it’s reflected in the glass.

“Eventually, the road dead-ended in the swamp. I got out of my car and walked into the tall grass, pressing it behind me with great effort, and arrived at a couch that was purple and looked new and turned out to be very comfortable.”

I’m working on a preview for an upcoming production at City Stage in Springfield, MA. It’s a youth multimedia theater production that challenges some of the misconceptions about life in the inner city – specifically Springfield. It brings to task the alarmists who act like this underdog city of ours is some kind of warzone.

I’m editing the video package now, but here’s a brief explanation from director Magdelena Gómez:
