PappasBland are photographers based in the Berkshires, Massachusetts.
We are approaching peak meadow.

This blueberry farm just 5 minutes drive away was definitely in the back of our minds when we decided to move here. It’s a really nice spot and they charge an absurdly low $2 per pound of fruit. A few mornings ago I spent a couple of hours there picking for our freezer. I had the whole place to myself and made some photographs while I was at it. Richmond, MA.

V1 of our Art Stand concept is now open! You can read all about it here but we will be constantly iterating on this idea to refine how we display the work and what else we have to offer. For now these coolers are doing a great job. If you are passing through West Stockbridge come and check it out! All the info you need is at the link above.
We took a hike up Monument Mountain on Sunday. Our next art drop will land when inspiration strikes and we’ve managed to get some other projects off the ground.
A new addition to my Hand Bouquets series, from June here in the Berkshires. Featuring flax, bladder campion, red clover.

A deposit of photographs from yesterday...
1. I saw this in town and felt like it spoke to me.
2. An addition to my ongoing project of patched up and rusting vehicles that their owners are desperately holding onto.
3. In the year 2030, how many sats would this chocolate milkshake have cost? These are the things I think about as we make our gradual transition towards accepting Bitcoin.
4. I love our neighbor's shed and often make a photograph of it as I walk past. I am building a collection of these through the seasons.
5. I find it very satisfying to look at the path we have going around our meadow when it has been freshly mowed like this.

One of my current pastimes is collecting free wood from people on Nextdoor, or just when there’s a pile by the side of the road. We have a need for wood for a project we have coming – which if we can actually get it done will be something exciting to talk about here. Just need to find some willpower + time.

From an architectural perspective the organic, sculptural forms of these purple martin nest boxes in Connecticut reminded me of Jeanne Gang’s (Studio Gang) amazing design for the Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. If I was a purple martin I’d be very happy living here. If you haven’t been to the Gilder Center you should, it’s a must-see if you are in or near New York City.
