Filtered Photo for You...

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ~ Aaron Siskind

I gave this photo a slightly filtered look, as if it were printed on canvas. Almost looks like a painting.

Firday "My Town" Shootout - Favorite Place to...

“One must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

This week's assignment comes to us from Cindy in Alaska. I have a lot of favorite places around Crisfield. Since the subject was open, I thought I would pick my favorite place to relax, that being a little place I will not name because tourists know nothing about it. We could take you there but we would have to kill you.

I have used these photos before in two different posts, so forgive me if you have already enjoyed them. I was going to go back and take some more photos but the only things that change are the tides and the light.

You can see from the photos why I go there so much. If you see three people it is a rare day. Most days you see no one. Some days, you are lucky and get to talk to a crabber.

Thought I would entertain you with a water feature today.

Lemonade, Anyone?

I took these photos while I was rushing to an assignment the other day. I was going to put it in my photo piggy bank. But since the Dog Days of August are upon us...
