Ocean One – Photo For August 10
I always enjoy taking photos of rusty boats, something about the texture and lines.

Sunken Boat Study No. 2 – Photo For August 9
This is more of a marine railway than a sunken boat photo. Marine railways are great examples of basic mechanics used to achieve a difficult task; how you get a large boat out of the water.

Pond Study In Infrared No. 4 – Photo For June 28
Back to this study today and perhaps another in the near future, had a prolonged rain storm last night, which makes for many interesting photographic possibilities.

Shrimp Boats, South Carolina – Photo For June 26
It is shrimping season in South Carolina… Thought this would be a good follow up photo from yesterday. There are shrimp docks throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia. It is however an industry that has been on the decline for many years, caused by cheap imported and farm raised shrimp, high fuel costs and fisheries that are not producing as they once did (potential causes are most likely pollution and not over fishing). Fishing is like farming, some years are better than others, and you have got to like it, because you probably are not going to get rich doing it…
Love at first sight…
I will rest by your side in the calm waters.
And in the perfect storm pray I return to you…
I am in you and you in me.
We remain each other’s reflection
In both the still and stormy waters
Love is not blind, it seas…. Nannette

Point Pleasant Beach, NJ – Photo For June 25
In Point Pleasant Beach this morning and happy to report that the rebuilding process has moved along at a fantastic rate. I spent most of my spare time around the boats, and the commercial harbor seems to have returned to a near normal level.
