Debris

This year, there's been an extraordinary run of shad in the Connecticut River, which has lead to an extraordinary (albeit natural) die-off--with the result that there are deteriorating dead fish floating in the river and washing up on shore.  They do reek--but there's a certain beauty in their skeletal remains.  I have to admit that John, when he saw me working on this photo said, "Wait--you took a picture of one of those smelly rotting fish?"  Um, yeah...Now you know why he had that pensive wondering expression in that portrait: "I married a woman who takes pictures of stinking fish corpses!"

    Our spouses deserve a lot of credit. Jan has gotten so used to me photographing the bizarre, that if I miss something, she'll point it out for me.

    Hi Bobbi,
    It's kind of beautiful, in a sort of strange way. Have a great day!
