Take ice. Night after night throughout the winter, black ice forms across the landscape on streams, ponds, woods and wetland pools. Imagine that the ice both reflects and reflects on the starry skies that arch above. Then, imagine that, absent a snowfall, some set of living forces engraves these shimmering reflections into the ice’s dark, mirroring surface. A photograph of them would then be an image of glinting worlds and wonderful creatures far away from earth in the universe—and therefore also far from the present in cosmic time. Ice like this is just one example of the possible worlds Fred Buell’s new photographs discover and explore. Countless others are hidden in the commonplace natures everywhere under our feet.
Possible Worlds and their intriguing creatures appear in leaf litter, in rock and lichen improvisations, and in trees that become not just impressive physical objects, but also metaphors charged with meaning. Possible World photographers (a new breed created by COVID’s sharp restrictions on mobility) memorialize these. Thanks to the fact that the real creators of these possible worlds and creatures work unnoticed 24/7 all around us, the worlds they create will always be more abundant than what even the most determined photographers discover. Human beings can only hope for occasional samplings of these creators’ provocatively strange, playful, and sometimes astonishingly beautiful fine art compositions hidden everywhere in plain sight.
Frederick Buell is a writer and photographer who has lived in Warwick 30+ years. As a writer, he has had two books of poetry and three on literary and cultural history published. As a photographer, he has had three one-person shows. His blog can be found at fhbimagery.com. The Albert Wisner Public Library in Warwick, N.Y. will host this show throughout September. It will contain 20 large fine art photographs (and one small one) and further information about Possible World photography. Photographs: Top: Dance of Dark Energy.

The former Mid-Orange Correctional Facility has an extensive, and often unsettling, history.
Its origins date back to the 1930s when it was built as a reform school for boys. The school housed about 400 teens at any given time and remained in use until 1976. It is said that at least one of the boys had prematurely ended his stay within one of the dormitories. And many others have continued to prolong their stay long after death, touching guests and closing doors on them- playing with their minds along with any possessions. But the story does not end with a few playful sprites.
In 1976, when the reformatory was closed, it was converted into a correctional facility. This was when it was at its most populated, boasting almost 1,000 inmates housed by 1989. This was its primary function until June of 2011 when it was closed alongside six other state prisons. It is from these men, some of whom had committed the vilest atrocities imaginable, that the complex gets most of its haunts. Bangs, shrieks, inaudible threats, thudding feet… apparitions. It is thanks to them that some of the floors of the schoolhouse remain inaccessible to the public. Although this is done to protect any guests from injury, locked doors mean nothing to the dead.
