stuff one might see in micanopy, florida.

These are lovely. I want your camera! And those beautiful old brushes ( or whatever they are). You also have a great photographic eye. I love the cherub photo. The gravestones are interesting too...cemeteries are fascinating.

excellent.
i really like the interior series (interior to the larger series) from the door (which is great) to the black-and-white brick building...
and the black and white cemetery photos are way way southern gothic.

very nice.
i'll maybe say more when i've a bit of time.

nice to see new stuff.

My favourite is the kitchen antiques display. Wonderful colours and I can just about feel the enamel and glass by looking at it. The contrast in lighting tones and colours is also very evocative.

Great to see your stuff again!

Your photographs are beautiful. My favorites are the ones of the dolls.

It's always interesting to me to see the shots you choose, mixedmedia, to see how you frame the subject matter, or for that matter, what you choose as the subject matter of the shot. I like your eye. The photograph of the dolls in color is intriguing; it makes me think of my mother, and other mothers, who must have owned dolls like that when they were young, yet now their dolls are in antique shops. I also (as a lover of cemeteries, is that strange?) really enjoyed the gravestones.

And like other folks here, I'm happy to see some new stuff from you.

Thank you, LT. The brushes, I was told by the store owner, are Japanese calligraphy brushes. He had some others that were about 4.5' in length, huge and beautifully enameled. It was a wonderful shop. The owner had taught high school in China for 25 years, then came back to this tiny little FL town and opened an Asian Antiques shop. I love stories like that. He was lovely. And so was his dog.

Thanks, rb. I'm glad you like them. :)

So glad to see your excellent photography eye hasn't diminished with your absence from these hallowed halls. Beautiful photos, I'm so envious of the cemetery shots!

Thank you. You might enjoy these then, too. The amount of stuff in this house was quite breathtaking (the dolls were in the same shop). When I walked into this kitchen I literally gasped. I just liked the composition of the other photo more.

Thank you. I especially liked the look on the face of the little 'Indian' doll surrounded by all the lady dolls.

Unfortunately many of my favorite shots from there have my daughter in them so I can't post them here. But I am very happy to have pictures of her in a graveyard. :)

Even though this is not a great shot, you can get a good idea of how it felt to be there. It was getting near dusk and the overhanging live oak trees and their moss were quite evocative. It was very peaceful. Very nice place to be.

Agreed about the composition. There's something about that security camera though. It's completely out of place and I wonder how it could be included to highlight this.

I know, but I didn't even notice the camera until I got home and looked at the photographs. The glass and china were a little distracting, lol.

I can understand the need for it, I suppose, considering the amount of inventory she had.

Just an aside, she wasn't nearly as friendly as the other shop owners in the town. Could account for something.

i absolutely love your photography! great colors.

Thank you very much. :)

Cool shots mm - where are the eyes on that dog? Love the contrasty wall shots.

thank you, skafe. Those eyes are in there somewhere, lol.

The walls were my favorite photos and, in fact, I was quite convinced that they were the only good ones out of the whole batch. Glad folks liked the other ones, too.

Lovely stuff Mixed Media. That door is very nice. The sense of the car - the texture - I can almost feel it on my hand or smell it. The HIS wall is very cool too. I really like your eye and your ability to make your camera follow your eye.

Thank you, kramus. :)
