One of the oldest Episcopal churches in the United States, Bruton has been serving members since 1715. Famous past worshipers include presidents Washington, Tyler, Monroe and Jefferson.

The economic downturn continues to make itself apparent. Couldn’t resist to take a few images of these Mannequinns that are now no longer “employed”, as the store is closing its doors. Couldn’t resist thinking about how Von McKnelly would have enjoyed stumbling upon this scene, and what images he would have taken. Captured at Dilliards, in Chesapeake, VA.

Was taken in the Natural Bridge Caverns Va, in November 2008. / Deepest Caverns In The East / The Caverns were opened to the public in 1977. It was originally explored by Col. Henry Parsons in 1889-91, but the natural entrance was too steep for general use. When the modern development took place, some tools, a ladder, a lantern, and rope were found where they had been left in 1891. Taken with a Canon Digital Rebel XSI Handheld, As Is No Edit… / Shutter Speed 1/10 / Av 8.0 / WB Auto Caverns was featured in Caves and Caverns – Enclosed Work, !!!! Caverns was also featured in Canon DSLR, !!!Super Cool!!!
Last night I went to the Airpower Over Hampton Roads Airshow. I stopped near a parking lot at the end of the runway, and was treated to the return of four F-15E Strike Eagle pilots. As they walked towards us, they asked us how they looked and if their 4 ship formation was nice and tight. They then joked that this pictured pilot here, was probably way off the mark, I even commented that I didn’t get his plane in even with THAT lens. It was fun to see the human aspect of an airshow, and having a laugh with these hometown heros. I can’t believe how young these “kids” looked.
oil/digital I did this work out of respect, and a hope for a better future. Even though there’s great wounding, I wanted it to be green as a symbol for new life and hope. The proceeds from this piece will be going to the DC Save Darfur campaign. savedarfur.org / ’Save Darfur’&:http://www.savedarfur.org Thanks! Mechelle
