I photographed Charlie this morning, and as I did, had a wonderful discussion about how happy he was sitting in the sun on a lovely day in the Florida Keys. In fact he related that he is happy every day and wonders why more people are not happy…
This is the first slide show I have produced with Adobe Lightroom converted to a video.
Pete, who works out of Tampa stopped by Stock Island for a couple of days. An old friend was crewing for him and introduced us. Pete allowed me to take a series of photos of him while we talked about life on the water. I also did a Black and White version.
This is the beginning of a series of photos I am going to post of my friend Charlie. These as are all of my photos, copyrighted and not to be reproduced without my permission.
Am really getting into street photography. As I was walking on River Street, in Savannah, GA a couple of days ago, I saw this lovely bride being photographed. I jumped in and took a couple of photos myself as they were preparing her for the next shot. Then I found that she was a model and they were doing a promotional shoot, what fun!
Since I like to convert these to black and white, gives them a more traditional look in my opinion, I will be posting most of these photos from now forward over at one of my other blogs:
“Street Photography” – Images by John Van Horn
I have been working on some street photography recently and these are just a few shots I took of a band on River Street in Savannah, GA. They were great subjects and their thing was getting a few dollars, not for their music, but for getting their pictures taken. I find street entertainers make wonderful subjects and being photographed is just part of what they do. These photos can also be viewed on PhotoShelter.
The wreck of the Cobia is part of a deserted piece of waterfront in Brunswick, Georgia. It is representative of the decline of the local shrimp boat fleet.
This series of photos of a Crescent Towing Tug escorting a freighter up the Savannah River was taken from the Savannah River Bridge. Watching these tugs work is fascinating, always positioning themselves to assist the ship if an emergency occurs. Photographing into the sun for this series was more difficult than I anticipated, but does give an interesting perspective.
