The idea for Head in the Clouds Amherst was born in 2011, in the wake of the “Snowtober” pre-Halloween nor’easter that took Western Massachusetts by surprise, bringing down trees and knocking out power in Amherst and across the region for days. Neighbors with power opened their doors to those without, colleges invited families into their dining halls, local businesses went out of their way to help customers in need, and restaurants and diners were filled with people looking for a hot meal and sharing tales of strife and triumph. The town transformed into a true community. The Head in the Clouds Amherst blog came online one year later as a forum for exploring the intersection between life and weather. Photos have always been a central part of the experience. From wedding fashion photo shoots on a frozen Puffer’s Pond, to clouds reflected in March potholes on Pine Street, to every kind of weather calamity, we’ve watched the seasons, and we’ve watched the people (and very often their pets) who love those seasons.
Our wall calendar made its first appearance in 2014. This is our sixth year of featuring photographs taken by the people who live in and visit our little corner of the world. Each year we strive to find new ways to capture iconic Amherst landmarks, as well as entirely new locations rarely seen by anyone. We are your neighbors and friends - indeed, we’re willing to bet you’ll find at least one name among our 2019 photographers that you recognize: Meg Wright, Joshua Wolfsun, Katherine Mayo, David Sharken, Stephanie O’Keeffe, Eric Heller, Mindy Domb, Isabella Dell’olio, Carol Carson-Leinhart, Megan Dobro, and Elisa Campbell.
The world around us is unpredictable, fierce, awesome, grand, terrible, and heart-achingly beautiful, occasionally all at the same time. This calendar celebrates that experience.
We hope you’ll join us!
