to capture the serenity of this old stand of pine trees I had long admired, it happened one morning in September of 2005 when there was just the right amount of early morning mist. Making a series of exposures as the sun rose, it finally reached just the right angle, spilling light through the trees on the ground cover below. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_0167.jpg Mill Pond at Sunset MARCH, 2005 Hollis, New Hampshire Mill Pond, not far from my home, is the subject of many of my photographs and a place I like to frequent.

The tide being low, allowed part of this dock to rest on land, forming this gentle curve, offset by the white dingy on the right. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_3501.jpg Portland Head Light Setting out from my home, on a bitter cold January morning at 3:30AM, I arrived in Portland Maine 15 minutes after sunrise to photograph this wonderful light house. The warm morning light brings out the great textured surface of the lighthouse tower, which is enveloped in a rich sky that transitions from beautiful shades of orange to deep blue. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_3567m_filtered.jpg Cape Neddick Lighthouse in Winter JANUARY, 2005 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-IMG_2786b-Edit.jpg Cape Neddick Lighthouse NOVEMBER, 2004 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_3714.jpg New England | chrisotte.com View New England by chrisotte.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_3551m.jpg Hampton Beach Storm Hampton Beach Storm https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_9373.jpg Pier The combination of the moody sky, linier pattern of the pilings leading my eye across the bay to the houses in the distance as well as the reflections in the water caught my attention. The subdued tones and low clouds give this composition a cold, raw feeling that echoed the actual weather on the day this exposure was made. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_7588s.jpg Horton Farm I watched these horses (Gracie and Toohey) for some time, as they were grazing, when the composition came together. With the horses head to head, old barn in the background and the American flag in the frame just off to the right, this tells a short story of life in rural New Hampshire. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/NE-_MG_7674a.jpg Bouldervale Farm While searching for the right composition for this barn and pond, this curious horse began to follow me, grazing along the way.

The swastika on the wall, in sharp contrast to the Celtic cross on the right pulls us harshly back into reality; as much as we like to experience beauty and goodness, there are those who will always spew ugliness and hatred." -Chris Otte https://chrisotte.com/arizona monthly 0.8 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--5233.jpg Arizona Sky MARCH, 2005 While I was photographing Horseshoe Bend, my eye was drawn to this scene. Stone, naturally sculpted over many years by its creator: the weather, present in the background. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--4904.jpg Hanging On MARCH, 2005 I photographed this old tree in Arizona in March of 2005, not long after a flood had passed through this area. I was awestruck by this tree’s resilience and how it thrived with so much of its root structure exposed, clinging to the bank of the river shown in the background. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--5432.jpg Light Spill MARCH, 2005 Like water over a fall, the light felt as though it was spilling down inside this canyon wall in this abstract composition. The sharp contrast and curves created by light raking across the striations in the rock, give this static subject a sense of movement. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona---2.jpg The Mittens MARCH, 2005 It can be difficult to capture a unique composition of a subject that is photographed frequently. Arriving very late in the day at Monument Valley, the light was just about to slip away. I was overwhelmed by the scale of these immense landscape features, which are in fact, several hundred yards away. Tilting the camera down to capture the shrub in the foreground, my eye is lead up to the mittens. My hope was to convey the massive scale, (so alien to me) of this great western landscape. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--4925.jpg Long Walk MARCH, 2005 To convey the scale of a landscape is sometimes hard to do with a photograph. As I walked toward the peaks in the background, they didn’t seem to move at all. It was then that I realized this was going to be a very long walk. Tilting my camera down and placing it very close to the ground, the river bed in the foreground is captured while keeping the peaks in the background in sharp focus. My hope was to convey the great extent of this wonderful scene, from inches in front of my tripod legs to miles away. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--.jpg Colorado River MARCH, 2005 I found this composition (the left side of Horseshoe Bend) appealing as the gentle curve of the river meanders through the frame, some 700 feet below the rim of the canyon. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--5147.jpg The Grand Canyon MARCH, 2005 The broken tree in the foreground serves as a reminder that the canyon itself is just as fragile and speaks to the need for all of us to keep and preserve this great place for generations to come. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--5229.jpg Horseshoe Bend MARCH, 2005 This magnificent site is in Page, Arizona. At nearly a mile wide and over 700 feet deep, this bend in the Colorado River is truly a sight to behold. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--5653.jpg Lone Photographer MARCH, 2005 While searching for a subject, in what was a rather bleak landscape, I noticed my travel companion, fellow photographer and friend, Dan Brown, off in the distance composing a shot. The combination of a great sky, wonderfully textured ground and Dan's scale in this scene struck me. It was the embodiment of enjoying the simple pleasure of solitude in a vast, quiet landscape. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfc43bdd/images/Arizona--5965.jpg Humming Bird MARCH, 2005 Darting around, more like large insects than birds, humming birds can be a challenge to photograph. Fortunately, they are rather still while they feed, as was this bird when I made this exposure.
