Featured in Light In The Darkness June 22, 2009. / Featured in Imaginative Realism June 21, 2009. / Featured in Animal Fantasy Composites June 20, 2009. Best Viewed Full Size An adorable little Barred Owl resting and recuperating at the Lathrop E. Smith Environmental Education Center near Olney, Maryland. It’s my understanding that hurt or sick wildlife is treated there and, whenever possible, released back to the wild. I’ve spent many an hour here chaperoning my son’s field trips and always enjoyed the visit very much. Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon/Nikkor lens. Shutter at 1/3, aperture f/5.6, exp 0.00, iso 400. Texture Courtesy of Princess of Shadows – Deviant Art

Featured in Nikon D40 (x) June 14, 2009. / Featured in _Image Writing (2/24) June 7, 2009. / Featured in _Rustic June 3, 2009. / Featured in The Sisterhood June 3, 2009. Best Viewed Full Size Our rural heritage of small family-owned farms is teetering on the edge of extinction, so they tell us, and as I drive the haunts of my childhood the visions of what were commonplace years back are slowly falling into disuse and disrepair, or worse, being replaced by subdivisions. It’s always a joy to discover another one … no matter what condition it’s in. Image take in Davidsonville, Maryland on May 21, 2009 with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon/Nikkor lens with the cp filter. Post processing lncluded hdr from a single hand-held image at +/- 2 eval, no tripod. Sky darkened in Photoshop.

BEST VIEWED LARGE! This image was taken at the Brighton Azalea Gardens in Montgomery County Maryland in May of 2008. Between the trees you can see Triadelphia Lake, beneath which lay the remains of the Town of Triadelphia. A little history of Triadelphia, copied from the Sandy Spring Museum’s website follows: Born of the Patuxent River and then destroyed by it, the mill town Triadelphia knew years of glory as a leading Maryland industrial center. Triadelphia (“three brothers”) was founded in 1809 by brothers-in-law Thomas Moore, Isaac Briggs, and Caleb Bentley, who married Brooke sisters. Its water wheels powered a cotton spinning mill with six carding engines and 444 spindles, a sawmill, grist mill, and mill for grinding bone and plaster. Around the mills sprang up a structured little city: smithy, cooperage, wheelwright shop, stables, church, cotton factory, company store, post office, cabinet shop, orchard, garden area, meat house, lime kiln, school house, Odd Fellows Hall, 15 detached houses and 11 double houses. Triadelphia’s golden years came after 1840, when Thomas Lansdale took over the factory and mills. The town throbbed with 400 people. Straining eight-horse teams brought wagonloads of raw cotton and supplies from Baltimore and returned laden with muslin, products of the grist mill, and cotton duck for making ship sails. Then came a train of disasters. The Civil War strangled the flow of southern cotton. An 1868 flood swept away houses. The end came in the 1889 deluge that also caused the Johnstown flood. Richard H. Lansdale, a grandson of Thomas and future miller, recalled walking as a child away from the wrecked town with a pillow under one arm and a chicken under the other. Today Triadelphia’s foundations slumber beneath the reservoir that bears its name. Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm lens. Post processing included Photoshop and hdr in Photomatix then back to Photoshop for slight Orton.

Featured in United States June 14, 2009. / Featured in Dilapidated Buildings June 13, 2009. / Featured in The Red Barn June 12, 2009. / Featured in Country Bumpkin June 12, 2009. / Featured in Graphic Editing 101 June 12, 2009. / Featured in Unconventional Artistry June 11, 2009. Much Better Full Size! I love it when the titles I think up can work as double entendres. In this case this gorgeous empty barn … and the farm itself, I guess … do seem to be Finished … cloned off to the left rear is a housing development. It could also refer to the job of plowing and seeding … which, unless these are weeds (are they?) is Finished. But the title also refers to the fact that I’ve mucked around with this shot so much … and it has so many names in my computer (I tend to try to include what processes I used on a shot in its name) ... that last night when I did this version, the only thing I put to the end of the loooooong image name … was … “Finished.” And so, it stuck!! Original image taken just up the road from our house on April 6 of ‘09 in Montgomery County, Maryland, with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon/Nikkor lens. Photoshop cloning out of distractions and 2 duplicates created, Photomatix HDR from a single, hand-held image, dups at -/+2 eval, Photoshop for the addition of a texture, then into Paint for some blending.

Featured in OLD BARNS Around the World! January 22, 2009. / Featured in Rural Around the Globe December 20, 2008. This beautiful old stone barn has always intrigued me. It’s not far from my home, but until recently was almost impossible to reach unless I wanted to walk quite a distance through many large fields. I could only catch a glimpse of it during certain times of the year … and my imagination would spin when I saw it!! In the years that I’ve lived here, a few subdivisions have grown up close by, and the barn is now accessible. It was bought and refurbished recently. Here is how it looks today … lovely … but oh … I wish I had taken that long, long walk, so long ago … to see it as it used to be. This image was shot in May of 2008 with my Nikon D40x, using the 18-135 mm lens and the polarizing filter. Settings: shutter 1/800, ap f/14, exposure -.33. The clouds were added as a compilation. I used Photomatix to create this HDR image.

Featured in “Windows and Doors” 8/26/08 As I walked through Old Town Ellicott City in Howard County Maryland one morning, I spotted this amazing, amusing door. This side of the street was still in strong shadow, while the opposite side was in brilliant summer sunlight. I thought the brass plate “Proper Dress Required” an ironic and poignant nod to glory days gone by.
