The library of the Society of 4 Arts in Palm Beach, Florida has acquired several images for their collection.

The Photograph Not Taken

The scene in the heavy fog was magical.
What possessed me not to photograph it then?
The camera and film were right at hand.
Was it that I was with friends when I saw it and would not leave them?
The people or the image.
To make a break,
To lose all around me so that I can begin camerawork.
This is the nature of my calling.

The image would not leave my mind that night.
I set the alarm uncharacteristically early.
Awakened to sun and a quick cup.
Then a twenty mile drive back
To a different scene in the same backyard.
Worthy nonetheless.
