Injust liked the naturally heavy contrast in these two images of Charlie and Jimmy on the farm.

Have a great day folks.

This past weekend was threshing time on the farm. With several loads of wheat and spelt filling the barns and sheds, there was a lot to do. I’ve shown you the threshing process before, so I didn’t feel the need to document every step this year. Instead, I had the freedom of focusing on some of the interesting moments and details.

For instance, I was inspired by the fantastic motions that could be seen throughout the threshing process. There were lots of wheels and belts being driven by the steam engine.

Even the action of loading the wheat berries into the wagon had its own repetitive rhythm. And so, I spent part of the day capturing motion.

 

After last weeks wave of depressing black and white decay. I am feeling the need for a little color. Something with some life in it. I think this black eyed Suzy will do just fine.

Even in a prison, there was a location that could be used as a sort of retreat from the daily horrors, if even for just an hour on Sundays.

This is the last of my images of decay from the state prison in Mansfield, Ohio. My friend Jim Nash deserves a lot of credit for coming up with the idea of shooting there. Although we both had a great afternoon, we agreed that in the end, the place was really creepy.

More decay from the old prison in Mansfield, Ohio. Not a bad way to spend a rainy day. Though, the experience does become a bit heavy after a few hours.

 

 

 

Yesterday, my photo buddy Jim and I visited the old prison in Mansfield for our monthly photo outing. E place is old and creepy, perfect for a rainy day. I’ll be sure to share more images from our visit over the next few days.

I have a great week all of you fine folks.
