The Atlantic Ocean

Looking out onto the Atlantic from the western, smaller portion of the island of Hispaniola... The special thing about this fishing ground is that this is where Christopher Columbus first landed during his first voyage in 1492. Today, this sacred ground is home to many fish like Red Snapper, Squid, Tuna, and much more.

Fishermen had hot tar warmed over fire that they were using to repair leaks on the bottom of their boats. They would allow the tar to cool and then venture into the sea to test their worthiness.

To take this shot I walked between two massive hogs digging in the sand forging for food. As I knelt down between them, they quickly scattered.

It took quite some time to get to this spot. However, we left with fresh caught Red Snapper and Lobster. It made for a great meal later in the day.

Break away from the norm - Go to the races

Photo shoot with the General Lee

For this little journey, I followed a man from Rockvale, Tennessee all the way to Georgia where we captured his General Lee / Dodge Charger in original filming locations of the Dukes of Hazard. The popular American television show was aired from 1979 to 1985. Re-runs soon followed for years. Most of the show was filmed in small communities all around Atlanta. 

I love old campers

I was looking through my picture files this evening and came across this old camper that I took a photo of several months ago. I used a fixed lens 35mm Fuji X100s... Great little camera for travel. I absolutely loved the sun in the background of this shot. 

Ghostly Incline Rail Card

Sometimes when I take photos, I feel as if I am walking through a surreal world. I get lost. This was one of those times.

The incline car was somewhat off the beaten path in a train graveyard of sorts. However, many of the rail cars in the rail yard, are undergoing rehabilitation. This old incline car on the back of the lot has been forgotten about - or so it seems.
