This is the third video in our Place and Time series. This exploration of greater Waterville and Fairfield, Maine unites still images taken by John Meader with sound recordings made by Shawn Burke. The photographs and sound recordings were made on October 2, 2023. The audio editing was done by Shawn Burke and the compiling of images into the video sequence united with the edited audio was done by John Meader.

Place and Time: Home had its theater premier at the 28th Annual Maine International Film Festival when it was shown on July 13 & 14, 2025.

Our first two videos in the Place and Time series can be found on our video page.

Japanese Sound Walk

January 2024. Shawn assembled a series of field recordings made in the ecumenical village of Koyasan, Japan to create his newest sound walk. You can explore the sounds of this UNESCO Heritage site and home of Shingon Buddhism here.

Oils and Acrylics

January, 2021. John has been painting. Exploring the world, and recently the heavens, in both oils and acrylics. Each medium has its strengths and weaknesses, for example, acrylics dry quickly while oils dry slowly. Both aspects have their advantages and frustrations. Lots to explore.
