My retirement over the past 3 years has allowed me to pursue a hobby that I've had interest in most of my adult life. This web log basically represents a means of sharing my photographic images with my family and friends.
in February at least. With high temperatures in the mid 60's, beaches, golf, tennis, and biking I'm thinking about going south to the Georgia coast and Jekyll Island this winter. I checked out the lay of the land last month and found it to be Pageable (laid back, interesting, and reasonably cheap). All we need is family and friends.
......but these posts seem to me to represent what I am trying to do in photography......showing a new way to see things around us. These are from an old Tabby house on Jekyll Island that people drive by and look at everyday without really seeing or appreciating. Tabby is a mixture of lime, sand, water, and shells that was used for building walls in the low country of SC and Georgia in place of bricks and wood. These colors, patterns, contrasts, and light are what make photography for me.
We did some hiking in Upstate NY this summer with our friends Jane and Stevie Y. There is a State Park near Ithaca named Buttermilk Falls (although in mid summer there isn't much water to fall). But the creek was still beautiful as it wandered through the limestone cuts and formed patterns and reflections. The flutterbee is from my yard at the end of summer. That's Steve in the last shot..... up the creek.
Nothing. Just hung out around the house. But still you see some fantastically ordinary things and people here in Salem. Here are some of the ordinary people that found there way to my lens the last 2 months. Wonder what they were thinking and doing, especially that guy driving the black Chevy pickup. Probably thinking about a beer and wishing football would start.
