Harrisville Autumn Reflections

The mill pond at Harrisville holds the village in its surface like a second town built upside down. Red brick walls and white clapboard steeples hang suspended in the water, wavering only where a breeze crosses the pond. The maples are at their loudest — amber and scarlet against a sky that has turned the particular blue of a cold October afternoon. The light comes in at an angle, raking across the masonry and igniting the leaves without softening anything.

To stand at the edge of this pond is to experience the village twice: once as solid history, brick and mortar and the weight of two centuries, and again as something liquid and provisional, shimmering at your feet. The church steeples reach skyward and downward simultaneously. The water does not distort so much as it doubles, and in the doubling it makes the whole scene feel held, suspended between the season that is ending and the quiet that is arriving.

Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the New Hampshire landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on natural cotton paper to create a print that will last for generations.
Print only, with a 1/4 inch wide white bordering for convenient matting and (or) framing

Unmatted (unmounted) / unframed.
