Continuing the tale, my portrait endeavors were not very successful. My biggest issue was giving posing directions. If I had a candid type of portrait I did fairly well, but to be blunt I did not like taking portraits. I found myself leaning toward landscape type photography, but when you live in flat lands covered by towering pine trees there is not much landscape to photograph. So I went toward mini-landscapes or as it was called back then, pictorial photography.
This image tells a story to those who know. This years old, well worn path leads to the railroad tracks (the bright area in background). Following the path to the other side of the tracks leads one to one of the homeless camps in our area. In this case the camp where Maggie lives.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
