At first you might think that I’m a little late to the party
that is known as the Lonaconing Silk Mill. Actually I have been shooting
this location since the spring of 2011 thanks to my friends Arthur Ransome andChuck Robinson. But I never got around to processing many of the
images much less sharing them. Here is one from my 2nd visit
early last summer. This is an amazing location, the mill was shut down in
1957 and everything inside is frozen in time. Unfortunately the mill is
in pretty bad condition and its future is uncertain. Being able to
photograph a location that is untouched for over 50 years has been a real
treat.

While walking through the grocery store this past Saturday I
noticed some small bunches of tulips. It occurred to me that it had been
a couple years since I did any “macro studio” work. This is
something I really enjoy doing but for some reason I find that I don’t do it
often. I must admit that I’m feeling a bit out of practice. I
decided to use a couple of textures on top of the original shot. It’s not
that I wanted to go “grunge” but felt the basic shot was a bit boring and
ordinary.

A
couple months ago I was asked to be a Guest Photographer on a site called
Fotopelak. Besides posting to Twitter, Facebook and my Blog, I
don’t spend any time publicizing my work. I would rather spend my time making
pictures than trying to promote my work. In spite of this, over the last
couple years I have been approached by a number of people in regards to my
photography. With so much photography on the internet it is truly amazing
that my work occasionally stands out.

After
getting the request I had to decide what to share. While I consider
myself a nature photographer I decided to submit a collection of old cars.

Last October I spent a couple days in the Delaware Water Gap
area of PA, but upon my arrival I discovered that peak fall foliage had already
passed. I decided to do a quick middle of the day trip to Steamtown
National Historic Site in Scranton, PA. While the restoration shop
was off limits, there was still a lot to shoot. If I’m ever back in
that area I will certainly head back for a 2nd visit.
