Hometown Appreciation

Just before school got out, I went down to Granby to visit my family. My dad doesn't live more than 30 miles away, but if I don't make a point to drive down and see him, we just don't ever see each other.

While I was there, I started thinking about a lot of things that reminded me of my childhood....we went to JJ's for dinner and I started taking pictures of things around town that probably won't mean anything to anyone else, but they are things that may not be around forever (as I learned from the Joplin tornado) and they are special to me, for whatever reason.

If you are interested here are few photos around town with my Holga way back in 2009. 



After a big storm we would go out to the road and look to the top of this hill to see if we could see a rainbow....if there was a rainbow anywhere, it would be at the top, just where those clouds are in this picture. 

Eagle Bluff


Sunday night marked the end of Old Mining Town Days with a fireworks display. I haven't been to the carnival/concert/firework reunion in years....but this year as we walked around and I saw people that I haven't seen in 10+ years, so many memories came rushing back. Some of these photos I took just so I could send them to my brother, because he lives in Arizona and we share the same love for our hometown.

My Summer With Holga Part 4

I tired to take lots of Holga pictures this summer. This is one of my final rolls of film. Pictures are from St. Louis, Joplin and surrounding areas. Enjoy!

Whew What a Weekend!

I spent a lot of time this weekend doing family stuff and some photography. I did squeeze in a bit of craftiness. I put together a scrapbook layout and a bunch of cards. I will try to take some pictures of those today...hmmm....the sun is going down so much earlier now...I don't want daylight savings time to end. Anyway, I am working on my Down on Main Street photo series and I shot a few pictures this weekend of the courthouse in Carthage. The pictures turned out really cool. Enjoy!
