My photography is less about events than about what remains when they pass. I’m interested in restraint, attention, and the subtle ways everyday environments hold memory without asking for interpretation.

Hedge Apples
This is a shot from last November, from Silver Lake Park. Another “one of those”, that I really like, but was (predictably) overlooked at the on-line contests I frequent. I still like it. .
We called them Monkey Balls when I was a kid...there was a line of them there monkey ball trees marking the property border between Shady Side Academy and the Pittsburgh Field club. They have a horrid odor.

I like it too. What exactly is a hedge apple? Don't think we have them in California.
The B&W shows off the textures nicely.
Hedge Apple?? Big ugly tree fruit. They're lime green in real life, about the size of a softball.
