Crisfield Blog
I am stepping down as the chamber photographer to pursue other things that have been on my mind-plate for over two years. As a professional photojournalist who has traveled a lot, I feel the need to point my cameras in other directions, and to work on the many slides and negatives from my past travels. I have several photography books in mind, grants that need to be written for other projects, and my present dream (actually long-time dream) is to make a trip to Cuba to photograph the old cars from the fifties. I love old cars. Yes, photojournalists and journalists, as well as free-lance journalists, who have demonstrated a significant record of journalism can petition to go to Cuba. Naturally, this takes a great deal of preparation. Just the paperwork alone is time-consuming. I also want to return to Bangladesh, and possibly do some work for relief organizations in other countries.
Well, that covers the next ten years of my life. For now, I am going to relax and do a little brain dry-cleaning, and enjoy the summer picking at my projects. I might even clean my house.
Shortly, the direction of this blog will focus on photos taken around the country and world, and of course in Maryland. Naturally, I will not pass up a Crisfield photo if it stares me directly in the lens.
Have fun, and get plenty of sun block. Though my Dad's Fiat was small 1100, it was a 50s car. If you see one, buy it for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love whatever you photograph. Hope your petition to go to Cuba comes true. Good luck for all the other wishes too.
