Off to err….Winchester, VA?

For some reason, I haven’t been able to sit still for the past few weeks.  I haven’t been able to focus long enough to actually get my list of things to do…. done.  I’m really jumpity and have been finding ANY excuse to get out of the house.  What has my excuse been?  Believe it or not, Winchester.  I never realized what a beautiful and relaxing drive it is!!  (Especially if you avoid all of the highways!)  I’ve gotten in the habit of leaving at around 8pm-ish and getting back at around 11.  Through the dark I can usually make out moonlit farm fields, lakes, and old towns (population 500) with quaint, ivy covered architecture.

I finally decided on Monday to get out of the house during the day.  WHAT A CONCEPT!! So, I grabbed my camera and lenses (left the lighting equipment at home) and headed out the door.  I had a goal in mind.  I wanted to try to capture some of the beauty of these old towns…..Aldie, Middleburg, the Plains.  I wanted to try to take pictures that represented what the towns stood for.  The years that had never changed them.  I wanted the photographs to look as though someone could have picked up their Kodak camera in 1890.  I wanted to shoot what they might have shot.  I think this may be a series I want to continue working on!!  I had such a relaxing day and it was fun to break out of my normal box.

I am planning on taking a drive to Philadelphia in the next few weeks, primarily to photograph the small towns on the way.  Phillie is just the end destination.  Raise your hand if you wanna go!!

Other than that…I am just plugging away with work, work and work.  I’ll keep postin’ what I gots!!

admin - Thank you Leah! You know, I have been so unmotivated in a lot of my work lately and I think all I needed was a day to experiment for the sake of experiment. I had a blast and am DEFINITELY going to make a habit of it.April 15, 2009 – 12:11 PM

Leah Haydock - Terra – these are beautiful. I love that you are just photographing for the fun of it – shows how much you love photography, plus it’s often so refreshing and inspirational. Perfect black and white conversions.April 15, 2009 – 12:07 PM
