Autumn thoughts
Autumn has always been my favorite time of the year. To me Autumn means long runs through brightly colored trails, cool weather, pumpkins, and the crisp smell of the crunchy leaves beneath my feet. I wish it would last longer :)
An unexpected venue
As the Evening of Wine and Cheese grew closer, the founder and director of Old Glory Legacy Foundation, Rachel Medley, was hard at work finalizing the details of the event. Rachel envisioned an evening outdoors with white lights, lots of candles, tables made of pallets, hay-bale seating and her barn as a back drop. However, the weather trend for the week was rain, rain, and more rain so with that Rachel decided the event would be indoors.
Big smiles
These three cuties sure knew how to work the camera, especially the youngest, baby Sophia! I took these photos on the practice football field of Jordan Matthew's High School in Siler City where I was once a student, many years ago. It was nice to revisit the location. I don't think anything has changed
Slow shuttered memories
Back when I was at DINFOS (military photo school) the instructors drilled one thing (among many others) into our heads: "photography is subjective". I loved that, as an artist I loved being able to throw that word out there. Subjective was my license to shoot my way and claim "subjective" if my boss didn't like it. But I never really had that problem, people loved my work. I shot that way for a few years but when I got out of the Air Force, I did a brain dump got a non-photo job and fell into a rut. I forgot about my favorite word and started listening to people who were not photographers.
