The Secret Garden

Description: Statue of a girl holding a small bowl. Philadelphia, PA.

Why I like this photo: You can't tell if the girl is sad, or calm, or peaceful. It evokes whatever emotion you choose to see in it and thats why I like it.

Disarray

Description: Ruined house at an undisclosed location. Near Villanova, PA

Why I like these photos: I honestly love exploring this house as I find something new and interesting every time. It can be kind of creepy because it's so quiet, but it's also kind of peaceful and sad at the same time.  It makes for fantastic photo ops.

Fortress of Memories

Description: Behind a wall at an undisclosed location... sorry I like to keep this one secret ;)
Near Villanova, PA.

Why I like this photo: Aside from the location being super secret and awesome to explore (more photos forthcoming) this shows the irony of the modern buildings just beyond the wall.

Time After Time

Description: Clock-post on the boardwalk. Ocean City, NJ.

Why I like this photo: It kind of has that old, antique, vintage feel if you know what I mean. Like with the lion doorknocker-like adornments. Plus, I like taking pics of clockposts :)

Lift Off

Description: An airplane on the tarmac at Nut Tree Airport, Vacaville, CA

Why I like this photo: Looking back on this photo, I wish I had gotten closer to the plane to take a pic through the green-tinted window, but unfortunately, it was not my plane, nor did I know whose it was exactly.  I just kind of wandered through this airport looking at the hangars and stuff, not really belonging.  I like the contrast of the dark ground and the sky.

Blissful Escape

Apologies for the lack of updates. I've been awful at keeping up on this blog, but now that I'm done with my Senior research project I should have more free time. Onward!

Description: Taken of a small bridge over a dried up creek just before sundown. Vacaville, CA.

Why I like this photo: It reminds me of those old photos that have turned a bit yellow, or pictures that have been taken with a filter, yet this has no special techniques involved. Just my nikon digital!

A Peaceful Memory

Description: A little channel of running water in Arlington Cemetery, Arlington, VA

Why I like this photo: I love the colors mostly. The green from the grass, the pink from the trees; it's all so reminiscent of springtime, yet peaceful as well.
