March 1990.
An early shot of echolyn and friends. I was still two months from college graduation and yet to get involved. The next five years with echolyn were priceless. I gained immeasurable business experience,
much, much, more than if I choose to accumulate debt obtaining a post graduate degree I would never need.
Together in Time
Audiences & Applause
People & Profession
We were always having fun,
and it seemed like we were always together
which is probably true because we lived together, hung together, and dreamed together.
The best part is that we succeeded together,
many times, and did so ...
amidst tons of laughter.

Audiences & Applause
Part of being in a band is taking your show on the road, and we did this quite often. We got rather strategic about where the band played, always conscious of expanding our market, pushing the boundaries, and making new friends. One of my favorite locations will
always be Quebec City,
although there are countless memories in a hundred different zip codes.

Making Shapes / Adding Context
After moving toward the carved apple heads for the cover, I imagined more of a theme. This included trying to exhibit a "carving" although the cover apples were already photographed. I was also trying to incorporate a "human element". Two things on this photo stand out to me, one, the puckered shirt button, and two, the forearm into the hand holding the knife.
Deepening the Presentation
This one happened. I wanted to photograph the stump with the flowers but was inclined to add an object. The object became the baby shoe. Then my grandfather's foot was incorporated ... and I had something to present: the passing of time (which seemed to be the biggest theme to me during the ATW era).
W. Point Tracks
Local tracks that enabled many "walk and talks". We could be loud and vanish from the day. I scheduled a day to gather images for ATW. This was our first location. This photo was taken early before the sun burned away the fog.

If you count ... there is actually six.

Same apples minus one. These are the 5 you see on the cover.
