Thank you, Boonville, New York!

Photographing Thomas Rauscher, Boonville, NY, November, 2007

A few days ago I left the lovely Boonville, NY. My time there was plentiful. I shot tons of film and met some amazing people. I also spent a lot of time on my own.

Coming off of Boonville Missouri and N. Carolina with no break was exhausting. I needed time to reflect and explore my ideas. I probably spent a few weeks in NY hiding out, reading, writing and thinking. It made my time in NY different then the others but very worthwhile. The work is growing, and I am getting more confident in my everyday routine. I'm at a very good place in the project right now.

Thanks again to all who have supported me and this project. It really would never of happened without you and all the wonderful people I have met along the way.

A huge Boonville, NY thanks to Wally Low, The Beasock family (Mark, Sandy, Sarah, Chris, Kody, Hanna), Lisa and Craig Trainor at the North Country Manor, The Raschuers, The Hulbert House, Mitchell and Desiree at Charlie Brown's, Rosemary and Bob Healt, Bob Jones, Kristi Mead and the Chamber of Commerce crew, Kathy at Chatty Kathy's, Joe Kelly, Judy Roultson, Mercer's Ice Cream, and the many people that took out the time to show me around and those who let me photograph them, it was an honor.

Thank you all...I will return soon!
