Simple Simon...

I was so so so lucky to have the ENTIRE day off on Thursday, so I grabbed a coffee and packed a lunch and headed out to the country with my Nikon FE and some black and white film. There are these amazing remnants of turn-of-the-century settlement towns near my lake that I have been waiting for the perfect chance to photograph. I shot these for an assignment on simple composition. I'm kind of into them.



100 year old cemetery

abandoned highway gas station
ibid

farm diesel




i adore religious imagery

outside the power station

towers for miles and miles

railway controls





perfect





Also, I have been wonderful at procrastinating tonight. I stayed home to do homework, but instead I ended up watching HOURS of photojournalism documentaries on the internet.

Can somebody please build me a time machine, so that between school and work, I could actually have some time to do nothing. or at least laundry.

Hi! This is Amanda from PriaieView class of '08! I just wanted to stop by to say I've been looking at your work and I think you have some fabulous stuff! The lines, the religious imagery, your thoughtful compositions and your understanding of what makes a great black and white photo are all very impressive. Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more!
