It's fun to revisit old images that kindle nostalgia for places I love and miss a lot.  Here are several of those from Orange County, NY where I lived until moving to Florida in 2013.  They are from 2009 and 2010 in Harriman State Park and beside the Wallkill River.  (The Wallkill is one of a minority of rivers that flow from south to north.)  MF Film

I don't mind getting up early, in fact I actually prefer to, but it's been a very long time since I drove to the beach for sun-up which I did today.  There were more people there than I expected, but I shouldn't have been surprised as it was very pleasantly warm and inviting.  (MF Film)

There is muck, and anti-muck. When you step in the former, there's the latter to clean you up a bit. Of course, shoes will be sacrificed, but mud happens!  These two photographs were taken near St. Augustine, and up the coast a few miles from Vilano Beach.  I much preferred the anti-muck!  (MF Film)

Sometimes, when working on a couple of photographs, one or two others may get inadvertently ignored.  This is one of those.  I'm not sure when I took the negative for this, but it was a while ago.  Here it is now, though, and I'm glad I found it.  (MF Film, Deep Yellow #15 filter)

I return to Pumpkin Point quite often.  Low tide reveals acres of oyster beds, and Spanish moss drapes the branches of ancient trees.  (MF Film)

There are fairly typical scenes in Florida that do not involve flamingos.  They often do involve palm trees and retention ponds.  And, clouds!!!  Here are several views that I hope are not cliches..  (MF Film)






f8 and be there is an ancient photographer's adage, but luck matters a lot even when you are there.  And, it was f22 for me plus an orange filter and a polarizer.  (MF Film)
