Not much more than an hour’s drive from here is a huge, modern Toyota assembly plant. Sadly, that was just too far away to save this small town.

The Opportunist

I was cooling my heels outside a store while my friend shopped. Not wanting to stray too far while waiting, I explored the immediate surroundings with my camera and that’s when I noticed this little gem that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I love the way the vine has snaked it’s way through the rusted flagpole bracket. I took a moment to make three exposures, and right on time, out she came.

Wouldn’t you like to have a quiet spot just big enough for one comfortable chair and a lamp to read by? Close enough to walk to easily, but far enough that you won’t be distracted by everyday stuff. No phone alllowed!

I Remember

How we work today © Steven Willard

I remember when a scene like this was unusual. The lone individual sitting at a restaurant table might read the newspaper (remember those?) or sometimes a book (remember those?) but rarely did you see someone working. Now we think nothing of it.

The fellow in this photograph didn’t know I was taking his picture, but we did strike up a conversation and have since become friends. He likes the picture because it doesn’t reveal too much of him. I disagree, I think it tells quite a lot.

I had been waiting for just the right light for this image, soft morning fog seemed like just the thing.

Optimistic

Optimistic, Woodbury, Ct.

This is a local example of someone being overly optimistic about what one person can accomplish with little money and only so many hours in a day. It’s amazing how much one person can do, but not surprising that he died before he was able to finish.
