Windblown Hair

Black And White Photography, Joseph, Mobile Photography, Photography

This is the love of my life, my wife Theresa. I am posting this image because I hardly ever see her with her hair all messed up like this. As any of you contributors who met her in person already know usually every hair is in place. Terry is at the final stage of growing her long hair out to its natural beautiful shades of gray. She swore off dying her hair a few years ago. I personally think there is something special about a woman who is brave and bold enough to embrace their natural hair color as they age. Terry is 61 years old and I think she is beautiful especially when we are both laughing at me taking a goofy windblown shot like this. I took this image on a beautiful but windy Sunday morning sitting by the Great South Bay in Babylon, NY with my iPhone 12 Pro Max in portrait mode. BTW you will rarely catch a glimpse of Terry without a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee in her hand. I love you Terry 💕

Please excuse me dear reader. This is my 2nd shot of William I have uploaded to Monochromia. I hope being a Grandfather for the first time gives me a little leeway.

I always think that is is amazing to see such small hands that look quite old. I shot this wide open and I was really pleased with the result

The Yorktown

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography

The USS YORKTOWN (CV-10) was the tenth aircraft carrier to serve in the United States Navy. Under construction as BON HOMME RICHARD, this new Essex-class carrier was renamed in honor of YORKTOWN (CV-5) sunk at the epic Battle of Midway (June 1942).

The Yorktown was commissioned on April 15, 1943. Known as World War II’s famous “Fighting Lady”, the Yorktown would participate significantly in the Pacific offensive that began in late 1943 and ended with the defeat of Japan in 1945. The ship received the Presidential Unit Citation and earned 11 battle stars for service in World War II. Decommissioned in 1970, the historic ship was towed from Bayonne, NJ to Charleston, SC in 1975 to become the centerpiece of Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
