A Real Corker

In the store front of Birchrunville Store is a cache of wine corks that make for a great photo op. A fun place to shoot and the proprietors are very friendly and accommodating.

Classic Rockers

Saturday, Mary Brooks Brown, Pat Shorten and yours truly took a tour of the Chester Springs area just looking for photo ops. It was a very productive shoot. So here we are rocking out for the camera.

Dropping Eaves

Textures and light provide a compositional element that caught my eye.

The origin of the term Eavesdropping:

Hampton Court Palace outside London was the palace of King Henry VIII of England. In the eaves of its Great Hall, small faces are carved into the oak beams which lean at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground. These are known as 'Eaves Droppers'. Henry was known to be a strong ruler and often put spies in crowds of people to listen in to conversations. He wanted his staff (who slept in the Great Hall between banquets and would lie on straw looking up at the eaves) to know that he or his people would be listening at all times.

On The Edge Of Fall

Colors revealed of the change that's coming. A subtle pallet from nature's own. A true reminder of the passing seasons. When we reap the beauty of a glorious fall.

A Grave Sunset

On saturday Mary Brooks-Brown, Trina Bauer, Beth Christman and I went to shoot the sunset over an old country chapel. While there I had a chance to visit the cemetery, where I found the evening light revealing this moody scene.

Alien Spawn

Looking like something that came to this world to entice then attack us, these exotic lily pads and flowers were a hit at Longwood Gardens this past weekend. I've never seen so many visitors enjoying the lily pad garden area.
