Alternative Views

I like to see the whimsical in things I shoot. Take things in a different light. Call them as I see them. Image shown is The Abbot of Cairn Abbey

Here is a new Gallery of images that sometimes take a different view on what is around us. 

I think this one, Rust and Facade Stories are my favorite Galleries of such special Collections of images.

You can see more at Alternative Views.

Rust

My latest Gallery Collection that I have started is images of rusty surfaces. This started with being inspired by the images of others on Dgrin Forum. 

So far I have parts of an old fountain, harrow, a former No Parking road sign and more.

This is one I intend to pursue further, as well.

Do check out the rest by clicking on the title of this post.

Moore State Park

Images from one of my favorite sites to revisit regularly. The park features many Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel bushes as well as a mill pond, water falls, old Sawmill and other mill cellar holes and much more. 

I shoot there all through the year.  Watch for more images to be posted on a regular basis.

Signs

Always a fun thing to shoot and collect in their own gallery. Signs, be they street signs, business signs, old painted business signs on old buildings or reworked signs as with the one here.

As usual you can see the rest by clicking on the post title.

Let me know what you think!

Old Equipment and stuff

My latest Gallery at SmugMug is mostly (so far) old farm equipment overgrown and rusting/rotting on an abandoned farm site now a park and forest walk area in Princeton, MA.

Old farm equipment is alway fascinating to me, and even more so in such a state. There is also one old winch from the old Herrishoff Boatyards in Bristol, RI.

Rockport, Cape Ann, Massachusetts

Rockport's Motif #1, the most photographed and painted subject in this small picturesque seaport town. This gallery currently has my latest shots from there but will soon contain older shots and will grow with more.

I may include some Halibut Point shots here, eventually.

Facade Stories

Another Concept Series of images that I have started, more recently are what I call 'Facade Stories'.

Images of the sides of buildings against which another structure used to be built such that what is left on the facade tells a story or what is now missing. Chimney Flues are visible or outlined. Indications of stairs and pockets for floor joist and the presence of bricked up windows or signs off windows and doors. And, of course the indication of rooflines, some of which can be seen in this sample image at left.
