Assignment: Time Has Passed

Like Pat, I cannot resist the call of the Tumble-down structure! It was unbelievable that this one log home was still standing with original parts. Well, it was listing to starboard quite a bit, but everything about it was original. I wanted to touch every adz mark and splinter!

Seen busier days

We were practically under the under-contruction new Tacoma Narrows Bridge where I took this photo.

Louisana Ante-Bellum plantation; lost corner

On a back-road we discovered a pre-Civil War plantation that was NOT registered for tourists. We were able to convince a wonderful but reticent, shy lone woman to let us poke around. Nothing was restored; not even faded, peeling, smoky wallpaper. She herself looked like a remnant nanny from those times, wrapped bandana and all! Anyway, this gate post was definitely a relic.

ASSIGNMENT: Time Passes

I misunderstood the assignment. I thought it was to display 3 different photos as a set which show 3 stages of time passing with the same subject. So, here we have the dandelion blossom, seed head, and pod. I will post something after I do better homework and re-read the assignment!

Early fighter plane

The challenge was too much light in the building. This was my first attempt in going for starkness, but the background is too busy.

One-third of the power, Spruce Goose

We went to Oregon this week-end to see the Spruce Goose and flight museum. I thought I was lucky when I saw all that light to use for my attempt at silhouettes. Alas, there was too MUCH light as the entire building was panels as you see here. I wanted a really stark black and light contrast because of the geometry. It worked!

Hungarian Neni

Oh, how I would love to know what every one of those lines represents! Such history in her dear face. She was quite pleased to allow me to photograph her in her remote little village.
