Lake George 1926

Here is the photograph, Lake George, by Alfred Stieglitz. You know, I can imagine Stieglitz out there on the lake’s edge with his camera and tripod, waiting for the right moment. It's a landscape, but one that feels more like a mood. The water is like a mirror reflecting the sky, blurring the line between earth and sky. There’s a darkness, but also a light in the clouds, and that small, brilliant reflection on the water. Think about how many photographers he might have been in conversation with - all those painters working with light and shadow like Turner. This image feels like it's about that dialogue, about how we see, how we feel, and how we capture a fleeting moment. It's an exchange across time, a source of inspiration for all our creative endeavors. It's a reminder that, as artists, we are all works in progress.
