Central Roller Mill, Central, SC

This is one our favorite places to photograph. It is on National Register of Historic Places and is the only extant, complete roller mill of its type remaining in SC.

Tuxedo Relic

Yesterday, Al and I went driving around and found ourselves in Tuxedo, NC, which has some great stuff to look at, like Staton’s Grocery. Country stores like this probably will not be around much longer and short of buying them, I can only save them photographically.

Why These ?

Colors, shapes and textures sometimes combine in wonderful ways for me and here are a few examples. The corrugated  metal wall has great color, a suggestion of an American flag and interesting texture. The second photograph is a kind of stark image of color and composition, simple but elegant. The third is about color and texture. The lettering provides some shadow formation.

Old Industrial Buildings

I am still sifting through old files and am enjoying the memories of trips to California. The old buildings alongside railroads have a unique beauty because of their simplicity and texture.

Trolling 2

Trolling can be loads of fun. I found some images that I like with the first one again asking the question  of B/W versus color. I like the color interpretation better.

Closeups at the Pottery

I am still working on the poetry images and here are a few closeups from that shoot. The warm tones, waves, textures and echoing shapes catch my attention.
