Sonny, Hagerstown, MD – Photo for Nov. 16

Sonny Barnes was, according to my conversation with him, a WW II veteran with the 82nd Airborne. When I met him and took this photo, he apparently was sleeping in an old passenger car in downtown Hagerstown, Maryland. This was in 1970. I often wonder what happened to Sonny. Will post more photos of Sonny someday when I rescan this series of negatives and clean them up a bit.

Guy and Girl from the Band – Photos for Nov. 9

I took this series of photos about a year ago. There was a band playing on River Street in Savannah, GA and were asking for donations from those taking photographs, a little different approach. I had a great time taking photographs and donated a couple of dollars to the cause. Unfortunately they were in the shade with some serious backlighting. I had to do a little editing and below am attaching both the color and black and white version of two photos. I find often in these cases that black and white is more forgiving than color.
