Thomas Hill Standpipe - Spring


Robin and I went back to the Standpipe last night, which was open for the Spring. I was able to take the exact same placement as the fall photo that I took there last year, and this is it. I need to retake the Winter one again next year (it doesn't match the other two), and will hopefully take the Summer one in July, when they're open again.
In talking with Robin, I had a great idea for how to compose these shots. Instead of doing a horizontal frame showcasing the four seasons in Maine (all from the same shot), I might blow the four up to an 8x10, cut them into strips, and then piece them together. It's a take on what my Photography teacher suggested and my original idea. His suggestion was to do four shots of the horizon, in a wide angle idea, so that it's a wide shot, spreading out over four seasons. It would be very panoramic with four shots, but I think I like my idea better.
Hopefully it works!

Traveling for Work


On Wednesday, 5/9, I headed up to Ashland for the day to do some work for our office up there. On the drive up, my coworker and I stopped at the lookout off of I95 in Benedicta where I took this shot. It was still pretty early in the morning, which is why the photo is slightly hazy, but it's the best and most recent shot that I've taken of Mount Katahdin. Hopefully in about a month I'll have more, after my galavanting trip with Robin.


Things here have been pretty busy. I started my new job last week, and I'm loving it. Everyone in the office is so relaxed and wicked nice. Next weekend I'm headed to NH with Kristen for a Creating Keepsakes weekend...definitely looking forward to that!


Other than that...just the usual!
