Methodist Morning

First United Methodist in High Springs got a new pastor a few weeks ago and I was assigned to shoot him preaching. When I first got there I shot a few portraits of him in the church, none I was too crazy about. But then, when they started the service they raised a projection screen to reveal this piece of stained glass. It immediately jumped out at me and I decided to incorporate it into a shot. Underneath is my pick for the preaching shot.

Fireworks Alternative

On assignment for the paper, I went out to shoot fireworks at a "4th on the 5th" celebration. After shooting the typical fireworks shots, I packed up my camera and was heading back to the car when I saw this. The smoke from the fireworks was blowing toward the crowd and made an interesting scene. 

Dudley Farm

These shots are from Dudley Farm, a historic State Park in Newberry. The farm, which had been in the same family from the 1850's to the 1980's, was turned over to the state to be made into a park. It is a sort of time capsule that remains unchanged and makes one appreciate how things used to be.
