Abandoned

I found this abandoned structure in southeastern Georgia some years ago.  I took the shot on film and scanned it as it needed a lot of work.  The backlighting was very strong and there was lots of photoshopping, at least for me, required to bring it out.  I like the look of it as it appears somewhat haunted.  I also have no idea what the building was.  The double doors on the left and the huge array of shutters upstairs leads me to believe it might have been a feed store but this is very close to the coast and isn't a real agricultural area although it may have been back when this building was built.  If anyone happens to see this and has an idea or the actual history I would greatly appreciate it.

More Georgia Shrimpboats

I decided that since I ventured out of Florida for the first time on this blog that I would follow it up with another shot of the shrimpboats at Darien, GA.  This image was from another trip to Savannah, seems like every time I go through Darien it's either storming or raining or very foggy.  The weather always makes for interesting photos in my opinion.  I expect I'll be back to Florida images for my next post.

Georgia shrimp boats

I do get out of Florida every now and then, not that often and not for very long.  I took this photo on the way back from Savannah where my wife and I had a great little vacation.  Mrs. Wilkes boarding house is one of my very favorite places for lunch, it's even worth standing in line for which I absolutely despise doing.  The photo was taken in Darien, GA.  There was a pretty significant storm moving in from the west while the sun was rising in clear morning skies in the east.  The combination made the lighting difficult to shoot but I really like the result.  Darien is a very small town but it is very photogenic and close to Sapelo Island.  The coastal marsh environment is my favorite, something about mud flats, oyster beds, etc., that just makes me feel at home.
