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.

More to be seen when you click on the title of this post.

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.

Lamps & Lanterns.

For a few years now I have taking photos for a series that is Lamps and Lanterns. Street lamps, Porch lights new and old; electric, gas and oil.

They are so ubiquitous but still come in so many styles a varieties and blend variously with their surroundings that it is endlessly fun to Photograph them!

No doubt I will continue to take such images.

My New SmugMug Gallery Site!

I now have a SmugMug Account with lots of galleries of images.

These now include a gallery of Dinosaurs by my Brother-in-Law, Jeff Wells. The Stegosaurus above is a sample from that gallery and his work.

I also have a small gallery of what I call Facade Stories. These are images of the sides of buildings that tell the story of a now missing structure that used to abut them.

Please take a look and enjoy. Feel free to comment on images and rate them!
