Benches and Fences

More from the park in New Castle. Joy and I were about turned into popsicles when we stopped shooting. I was ready to drive off when I decided I had to tough it out some more and try for these photos and some from my new (40 year old) camera too. Those might get posted after they come back.









The last photo here is actually near the amusement park up by NCC airport.

Joy: Photos with a story

I've been working toward photos that tell a story or have some kind of emotional impact, rather than just being pretty girls. Nothing against pretty girls, mind you, but... anyways. Joy and I took advantage of the opportunity to shoot in Old New Castle, in the rain, and snow to do a few of these.



I told joy to "look homeless" for the two above



I wanted some impressionist feeling images here. These are actually more somber, and certainly not happy as impressionist paintings usually are, but, I really like them.

Joy is tough!

I wanted to try some techniques with Joy, and they came out pretty well. It was freezing cold, with rain that switched to sleet. We got some cool stuff before we had to quit shooting in the craptastic weather.

Glasgow Deli

I've been wanting to do some shots up here for a long time, ever since I noticed the bench on day riding by. The timing was never right, or I was in a hurry or there were a bunch of cars there, or... something. Anyways the stars aligned the other day, so I got to do some photos of the bench and building.

A few more from Downtown Dover

Despite the rumors my sisters used to spread

I have a heart. And despite 26 years of marriage, I have a spine too.
This is a chest X-ray from a few months back.

Some quick edits from today

I'll be going through these more thoroughly later...

Some family stuff from Thanksgiving

Andrea Photo Shoot

Andrea came for a shoot today, here are some quick proofs. We were trying for a Cosmo look.

The Bird House.

I found this house in the woods on a trail at Bombay Hook. The golden light falling on it was perfect. I knew I had to work the scene. Here are several ways to look at the same scene...

Benches

Not sure why I like photographing them, but I sure do!


This guy showed up at the park while I was shooting. I took this on the way out





Taken at Bombay Hook today, in the Tshirt weather. I think I like the big tree to the left more than the bench! This image has a movie feel to it.



This is in downtown Dover, in the rain.

A few more I missed!

These folks agreed to pose for me as part of my 100 Strangers project. I've forgotten their names now, but, they were from Pennsylvania and down to Virginia for some hiking, and had seen some waterfalls.


The folks above took this pic of Mary and I

Blue Ridge Parkway Photos 30+ that I couldn't thin any more

I couldn't thin any more shots out of these from my trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway with a few friends from my forum and Mary. Sorry if it takes a while to down load them all!
