Shoot for the Moon!

I currently have two prints framed and matted for sale at our friends at the New Moon Cafe. Here's a map. The prints are two of my favorites at $85.00 a piece.

This Old Boat

It had been sometime since I've had the traditional week at the beach vacation. A few weeks ago found me on Hilton Head Island enjoying the surf, sand and sun and exploring where I could. For as long as I can remember, I've always loved the water and just as much, I feel a great draw to old boats. The morning after a great dinner at The Boathouse, I headed back down to shoot some early morning pictures of the docked boats. One in particular caught my eye and as I was going through images for my weekly post, I decided to put some photoshop filters to work on this boat--the Game Cock.

Graniteville--The Final shots

It was an early Saturday morning about 7 o'clock when I pulled up on the final day of shooting. As I was grabbing my gear to walk through the area, a car pulled up behind me. A guy with a female passenger--both too well-dressed for this time of day--started throwing out a series of questions. I fielded some questions and threw out a couple of my own. He was the person responsible for the protection of the facilities. He seemed defensive when I mentioned that our area is going to change and I wanted to capture our history before it was too late. "Oh it is, is it?" He went his way and I mine. After another swig of coffee, I marched along the sidewalk wondering what I'd capture today.

Warrenville

I started shooting the Graniteville/Warrenville series about the end of March. On Saturday or Sunday mornings, I'd get up before the sun grab coffee and camera, then hit the road. As I had finished for the day in Graniteville, I was heading back and stopped to catch a shot of the train tressel with the building in the background. I composed the shot and just as I was getting ready to bang the shutter, out come a pack of cyclists! And unexpected surprise and added a fun element to the day!
