MAINE IN 1995
Thirty years ago, I spent a summer week at a photo-instructional camp in Maine. We took black & white shots around the local area, then printed and critiqued them the next day. Here are some of the results.
It was a worthwhile week. We picked up some good tips and experimented a lot – such as with differing views of the same subject matter, like this bridge.
This woman, a determined household figure in period dress,
was especially notable . . .
…as were her two assistants.
The equipment she had to work with was fairly primitive.
Here are some shots I took of a small-town military celebration.
There was lots of local scenery.
I caught this guy sleeping it off on the big lakeside rock.
The best subjects were kids, as these four shots display.
The local lighthouse was not to be ignored . . . .
. . . especially in close-up.
This store window caught my eye . . .
. . . . as did this experiment in snapping a more abstract image.
I spotted this house, convinced another student to lie down on the hill, and close this collection with my homage to Andrew Wyeth’s famed “Christina’s World.”
