I slowly followed a cute snail who just wanted eat a flower a few meters away, but I constantly took him back on his way to photograph him and he was looking at me as if he was saying “What are you looking at ?  I’m not famous guy, let me eat quietly” haha 🐌

This photograph was taken at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.  The history behind the Penitentiary is fascinating and the subject matter to photograph is equally as fascinating.  To learn more about the Penitentiary you can visit my personal blog where I did a series of images, some accompanied by poems that I wrote about solitary confinement.

These two are without any doubt my favourite subjects in Frognerpaken. They are just so touchingly human. These two strike a deep seated chord in me. I have many shots of these two dating back to the mid eighties. I’ve tried to capture  what they mean to me ,and I fall short each time They don’t age,which means I’ve got plenty of chances yet,and they are always fun to meet again.

If you get to meet them Say hello for me ;0)

Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring

SS 1/60 f 5.6 ISO 400

Signs of Spring was shot in diffused light in between rain showers; April showers bring May flowers. I used a shallow depth of field to achieve a more abstract composition.

Can you guess what the rain drops fell on?  I’ll give you a hint – they are some of the first signs of Spring on the North East Coast and provide much needed color to dull, early Spring landscapes.

To see this image in color visit my personal blog: Robyn Graham Photography.  I’d love to hear which you prefer – the monochromatic image or the color image.
