Vintage Cameras

I love to collect vintage cameras. I took some photos of a few yesterday with my lensbaby and decided to texturize them. I'm a sucker for antiques..I guess that's why I love Nichole Van's Antique vintage actions and textures.

A few more...

Brookgreen Gardens

I guess it's about time I get some of these on here. When we went to Myrtle Beach last fall, we visited Brookgreen Gardens and it is AMAZING! Acres and acres of beauty! Here are a few of the pics. I'll try and post more later. There are so many of them.

Vintage Fire Truck

When we went antiquing this past weekend, I didn't find any great "must haves", but I did get some great pics of this old fire truck. It's sitting in front of Todd's Antique Mall in Berea, and if you've never been there, you really should check it out. He has some great stuff in there. Although, this time I did leave empty handed...not sure if that's happened before! All of these pics are edited using Nichole Van's actions.

Fading Away...

I have this image on my Flickr, but thought I'd share it here too. I thought it was an un-salvagable image, but with the help of Photoshop and Nichole Van's Essential BW Action set...It quickly became a favorite. I love how it looks as if she's fading into the picture.

My first moon shot!

I think it turned out pretty well. This was taken with my Sigma 70-300. I haven't had a chance to use it very much, but it seems like a pretty good lens. And let me just add...I froze my tail off getting this shot!

A few faves..

Just a few of my faves from

the past few days...

As you can tell, I'm still on my "rural decay" kick, but don't worry...come spring, there will be much prettier things for me to be obsessed with!

Mill Springs, Ky

I took these pictures around the first of December, when it was about 60 degrees outside! The Mill at Old Mill Springs was closed for the season, but there are alot of interesting things in the area. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Warm winter day

Well, I don't think winter is ever actually going to get here...not that I'm complaining. It was pretty warm today, so we took the kids for a drive and hit a few junk stores. Gotta love those! On the way back I was able to get a few good pics. Some of my favorite things to photograph are dilapidated old buildings, houses, etc... I guess because I never know how much longer that are going to be there. So many new roads and new houses are being built, that it's hard to know what's going to be here tomorrow, and personally, I like the old stuff just fine.

Where have you been?

That's what I thought when I saw this shoe on te beach, covered in little shells. So many things get lost in the ocean. I couldn't stop wondering where it was from, who lost it, were they looking for it, when did they lose it...were they also lost in the deep blue sea? What else is out there? The ocean is so vast, it always evokes so many feelings inside of me...it makes me realize just how small we are and how amazing our God is. I just sit, stare and get lost in it.
