Brontozoum Sillimanium
by shaunoboyle
A recent trip to the Natural History Museum at Amherst College revealed a beautiful collection of ichnofossils: geological records of biological activity. I find these 250 million year old fossil traces extremely interesting. There are some distant parallels between fossils and photographs.

by shaunoboyle
Fossils interest me because they trace an event, and tell a story with a very small amount of information. Enough to start building a narrative and imagining a moment, a place, an event.

Hiking – Mt. Greylock Hopper Trail
by shaunoboyle
I do a fair amount of hiking. Rather than head to the gym, I go for a hike. Year round, even in the darkest days of winter I’ll strap on a head light and head out for a hike a couple times a week. One of my favorite local places to hike is Mt. Greylock. [...]
