Oh my!! Isn't this a treasure trove! I can smell those mouldy old leathers. I would just love to visit that barn. But re the comment you left on Ann's blog about the difference in photographic style, my shots would be all buckles and spokes ...
Julie, I took a few spokes, no buckles but the light and that filmy grass blown in by the wind won me over.
Lisa, glad you are enjoying the blog. I have a wonderful long trip inland coming up after this.
Bill, we don't have Armish communities here and rarely see horse drawn vehicles but we actually came across two travelling together on our current trip ... it was quite a shock coming over a hill at highway speed and finding slow moving horse buggys on the road. Thank goodness the brakes work.
and you certainly took advantage of them! i love the light filtering in from the sidedoor. just lovely.
coming from a ranching, cowboy clan, i also enjoyed all the bridles, etc.
my 22 yr. old son recently told me that anyone can be a photographer now that photoshop is available. i patted him on the head and said, "honey, you really shouldn't express opinions about things which you know so little."
i thought of you and julie, who are such exquisite photographers. photoshop can not "see" the subject, find the shot, and grab the light. (i also know very little about the subject. better stop.) light, etc.
oh, i just read the tulsa gentleman's comment about our well loved amish community! we probably know each other. :)
Lea, today's cameras and digital editing software certainly help us all to be photographers. But you are so right the difference is in the seeing, the light and getting the balance of all the things that make a photograph just right.
I was as a photographic exhibition recently and saw a quote from a news photographer which said "Now everyone is a photographer we just have to be better"
In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town. On another wayfaring trip we visited the radio telescope at Parkes but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.

ReplyDeleteI love all your picture stories. It makes me feel like I have visited your fine country. Thank you from sunny California, USA
ReplyDeleteOnly 30 miles east of Tulsa is a small Amish community. It is not uncommon to see horse drawn buggys and wagons in that area.
