Holy Smokes #002

I thought this was some place with the salt and pepper shakers handy on the windowsill. This was taken at Holy Smokes, it no longer exists as a restaurant, but it's a nice part of a series I've been working on. The windows were colored glass, as a church should have, and this one was warm with the warm toned finishing, so I thought it would make a good simple photograph. And that's just the thing, somethings are just so simple.

Winter Berry Fields

Verticals, diagonals, horizontals, all kinds of good photographic material. Normally, for me, I have a hard time with a place like this on a summer day. As I've said before, leaves and color can get in the way. My worry about the background and horizon were not an issue. Seems like it all came together with the weather and light. I wonder how much value or use the farmers put on their land in the winter months. I wouldn't expect them to be out making images. But at least they should be out admiring their patterns of rows. I would be.
