Since I was a little girl with my first Nikon my daddy would point out how well I could "hand-hold" and take night shots without losing focus or using a flash or tripod. I don't know if my hands are that steady but the iPhone will do things Nikon 35 mms could not. I still, however, prefer taking photos either at dusk or in full blown nighttime. Tonight I captured these shots, and for some reason my iphone let my music play while I was filming videos, which never happens unless it's not connected to bluetooth, so thanks, bluetooth fairy, I enjoyed uninterrupted playlist/photoshoot bliss...
I am caught up in this series because they are surreal and moody in a strange way I cannot put my finger on.
Every time I go to Reed Bingham and start heading home I have a choice of going left towards Evergreen Baptist and ultimately Rountree Bridge Road where Anna-Marie' and I both grew up and were best friends. I love this stretch of dirt road between Highway 37 to Rountree Bridge Road. It's unique. Twisty. Linda told me it was dangerous but I'd never thought about that...
Even though one of our classmates, Ned Bryant, who was Sheriff Charlie Bryant's son - a big puppy dog kid we all loved effortlessly...found out about its danger one night...
..he was either on his way to or from his girlfriend Candy's house, both of them in our same class, 85...and he, I think, was wearing earphones...listening to a..would it have been a cassette or a CD?? I don't know. But either way he didn't hear the train. And you know the rest.
That was maybe our class's first experience with losing someone to death and I'm sure we still all have the same odd feeling, especially when we travel this road and cross...these...tracks...
