Lord Palmerston

I am working on a project involving historic death masks and took photographs of a number of them last week. I am not very happy with the results and have to refine my technique. I will be returning to do a series of these photographs in a couple of weeks. But for now, here is a photo of Lord Palmerston – British Prime Minister.

Harpers Ferry Horse Drawn Hearse

I took these photos in 1970 down the street from the Harpers Ferry Cemetery. I have no idea of where the hearse came from or what happened to it… Below is a short slide show of this series.

Steamtown, Scranton, PA

I just got a new Olympus OM-D and decided to give it a test drive. I went to Steamtown for the morning and took some photos, loaded them into Lightroom and converted them to black and white with Nik Software, Silver Efex Pro 2.

I do like to take photographs of the inside of old railway coaches! Enjoy this short slide show.

To see more photographs of Steamtown, go to my Steamtown Site.

Burnsides’s Bridge, Antietam Creek

This bridge is one of the most recognizable battlefield structures of the American Civil War.  I wanted to do a little something different with it and a number of years ago photographed it through a pinhole. This is fun photography!
