Biker Bob in Colorado
Taken in Colorado September 2011. I call him Biker Bob, actually I don’t have a clue as to who he is. Taken with the spud, handheld, available light. I thought he looked cool on his bike.
Goliad Market Days, Texas
Goliad Market Days is an open air market which combines an arts and crafts fair, farmers market and community festival. Market Days are held to relive Goliad’s traditional role as a crossroads for commerce, beginning with the 1700s’ Spanish-colonial trade from Mexico to Nacogdoches. The tradition continued throughout the 19th century, as Goliad was included on the routes for oxcarts, freight wagons, and stagecoaches. Today, Goliad Market Days is one of the largest and most popular street markets in South Texas. Goliad is the third oldest municipality and is rich in Texas history. It is the County Seat of Goliad County, one of the oldest counties of Texas. First named Santa Dorotea by the Spaniards in the 16th century, its name was changed February 4, 1829 to Goliad. The name is an anagram derived from the last name of a Spanish missionary priest, Father Hidalgo.
Shadows On the Teche
Located in New Iberia’s Main Street District, set among towering live oak trees draped with Spanish moss on the banks of Bayou Teche, The Shadows, built in 1834 for sugar planter David Weeks, paints a vivid picture of life for the four generations that made this property their home. The Shadows is a Classic Revival-style home with a Louisiana Colonial floor plan and a garden that is as breathtaking as the history preserved here. Continue reading
Bethel Baptist Church
The new Bethel Baptist Church Park was developed while memorializing the history and significance of this land to the Fourth Ward. Fourth Ward was the site of the original Freedmen’s Town neighborhood established by freed slaves after the Civil War. Bethel Missionary Baptist, founded in the late 1800’s by the Rev. Jack Yates, has had three sanctuaries on the same site, the earliest built in the 1890’s. The most recent church building, built in 1923, was gutted by fire in 2005, but the walls are still standing. The city bought the property in 2009 to preserve the church facade and to provide park space. The Bethel Park Project restored three walls and converted the rest of the property into a park. It is a really cool place to sit and meditate.
Tabor Square
This is a TL120 image taken on Provia 100f film. I believe it was shot at f16 and 125th. I just had to get a shot of this fabulous statue on the top of the fountain in the square of Tabor, Czech Republic. We stopped in this historic town for some lunch, and as usual, I was delayed in ordering.
Charles Bridge, Prague
If you go to Prague, you will inevitably find the fine stone bridge built by King Charles I. It is one of the oldest stone bridges in Europe and is a very popular attraction in the heart of the medieval town. This image was shot with my TL120 camera on Provia 100f film. Maybe on the next round I will have a similar, only hyper shot from my Lubitel hyper rig. I still have to take the film in for processing.

Montreal lookout
Montreal Lookout – Jim Harp
Shot with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. This slide didn’t even seem worth mounting until I thought of trying a panoramic mount. Unfortunately I used my last panoramic mount here.
Gogarty’s Pub, Dublin
Gogarty’s Pub
This was shot with a Twin Yashica-Mat 124 rig early in the morning since I was in Ireland on business and didn’t have time for picture taking during the day. I had good luck with the shutters on this rig when they were set to one second, so I probably shot this at one second and used spot metering to determine the aperture. Provia 100F pushed one stop.
