The other day I bought Nancy several pots of Mums from the local farm stand, very vibrant colors, at the same time I got a large pumpkin. They sit on our front porch our Fall decorations.
In September 2012 I began "My iPhone Project" which has consisted of a series of Photographs taken only with my iPhone 4 smart phone. The idea for the project stemmed from a photography exhibit that I attended at the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, NH.
For the past 2+ years I have added to this album from that phone camera. Today's photograph is the last that I have taken with that iPhone 4. It has been retired in favor of an iPhone 6. I will continue the iPhone 6 project documenting the things that interest me as I travel around New England and New York.
I actually shot this photograph late fall 2012, the abandoned Quarry is identified as the First and Oldest Marble Quarry in the United States. It was opened 1785 now used as a summer recreation area.
This afternoon I went looking for an old foot cable suspension bridge that several years ago my father and I crossed to access the National Forest area in Somerset VT. It was a friendly piece of history with wooden slats across the length of it that swayed in the wind and challenged your balance. I have been in search of a cable bridge to photograph for many weeks now, and I thought this one would be perfect. I was in the area today and found that the old bridge was gone and had been replaced with this stainless steel span. At first it was very disappointing to see the old bridge was gone, replaced with this cold and modern version, but as I looked at this one I started to see the possibilities for a different kind of image, one that could be thought provoking as well as appealing.
