Sailor’s Creek

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Mobile Photography, Photography

The Battle at Sailor’s Creek occurred just 3 days before the end of the Civil War, and in that battle, nearly a quarter of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s army, more than 7,700 men, were killed, wounded or captured.

This photo was taken at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield State Park in Rice, Virginia. The Park Ranger told me that thousands of soldiers were buried under that grass…. no names recorded and no headstones placed.

Truly hallowed ground.

The Obligatory Bike shot

Black And White Photography, Ian, Photography

I think, as photographers, we all have a fetish for a particular subject for our photos. I have a friend in Denmark that admitted to always taking shots of empty park benches. And if i’m going to be honest with you, he did it rather well.

Mine is about the quasi obligatory bike shot. Firstly in these environmentally aware time, people are wanting to reduce their carbon foot print and their impact on the environment. What better than cycling? Well it means that there are quite a few bikes around town. And it’s just something that shouts out to me. Well this photo shouted so loudly that I just had to press my shutter button.

The photo was taken in Nantes, using the Pentax ME Super (which is indeed pretty darned super) with Rollei RPX 100 black and white negative film.

And if you’re interested, have a peek into my world on IJM Photography. Who knows, you might even enjoy it.
