safe haven for tiny formats

Nice, at first I thought it was PA, by your home location. Yet, I have seen similar sites in PA. A long time ago I lived beside the Schuylkill, a near creek was that size. Full of eels. I liked the abandoned canals with pull paths. I found my old home, a servants stone house marked 1789, on Google maps.

I just like snow...had our first 2" here today.

Thanks for the comment Randy. Yes, this part of Germany looks a bit like southeast PA. Lots of 18th century stone buildings not far from me. Enjoy the snow!

Enjoyed my trip through Massachusetts en route to Detroit a few years back on a business trip,Now Detroit was another story ....... , Sad to see this once thriving community , So run down (i believe it is improving)during that trip in new Hampshire i believe i was when i saw a reference to your work and you were were doing a showing from memory , Couldn't make it as i think it was a week past or so when i read it Anyway.(the details are a bit vague) as i can't remember what town i was in , Only that it was well known for it's lakes which were a fair distance from actual town . have missed you on the the 5x7 forum are you shooting much LF these days? Enjoying your digital work anyway . CheersGary

Thanks Gary: I've shot very little film over the last year.

I finally figured out how to configure my digital camera to preview the image in black and white: this can help prevent shots which appear promising in color but disappoint in monochrome.

At this point I am waiting for the muses to call me back under the dark cloth.

Ken, wonderful shot. Does the typewriter work, do you use it?

Thank you. My son restores classic typewriters, particularly those from England: when he's done they work well and look better than new. They have a certain intangible quality like restored vintage automobiles.

I swore off taking photographs of typewriters but when this rare model showed up with crinkle-coat paint, I had to give it a try

Ken, I always like the typewriter images. I was going through my old computer stuff to find things to photograph, having been inspired to make a series of said items, and your image style is inspiring me to try shooting an old Commodore 64 keyboard similarly.

Back in GA after almost a week on the Mississippi coast. Found a few new locations, and due to certain family situations, come next year I may be finding myself down there often, so lots of opportunity soon to photograph.

Here's a massive driftwood tree trunk as seen at Pascagoula Point, looking out into the Gulf of Mexico at the end of a dreary day.
