Working Pictures

Carl Weese, Waterville, Connecticut, 2007

I don't know much about Carl Weese beyond that he's a photographer fortunate enough to spend a lot of time driving around taking pictures, mostly in New England. And that he has a blog called Working Pictures that I like to look at sometimes.

It's not that I think the pictures there are so great or anything. Weese probably doesn't either; he calls them working pictures, after all. But he has a gentle eye, and the pictures are consistently nice, in the very best sense of that word. Better still, they're almost entirely without pretense. There's a lot to be said for that.
