I have finally landed at home, in western Kentucky.
As Ted said, couple of the sites weren't at what he would consider to be prime photo fodder, but I thoroughly enjoyed every place we went to. Even War Eagle Mill provided some interesting images that I'm anxious to dig into, despite the presence of four school buses full of juvenile miscreants and signs prohibiting entry into good vantage points. In all likelihood, I'll be back in War Eagle Mill one day, and I'll be carrying hip waders. I'd like to see them try to stop me then.
Of all the places we went, I guess I'd have to say the most interesting was Picher, OK. Had I not been unceremoniously and prematurely called away from the day by my sister (more accurately, her teenage daughter), I could have spent days out there finding stuff to shoot. Still, they were all great. I got in a lot of practice, and loved every minute of it!
Many thanks, Ted! I couldn't have asked for a better host/guide. -- Walt http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/waltergilbert http://waltgilbert.posterous.com/ <http://polipix.posterous.com/> On 11/13/2010 7:51 AM, Theodore Beilby wrote:
Well Walter has come and gone. Wednesday we drove to the Buffalo River area and shot elk in Boxley Valley, scenic at Steel Creek, hiked into Lost Valley and found that there was no water at Eden Falls, then we went to War Eagle Mill only to find no access to good spots to photograph from and four school bus loads of elementary school kids marching across the bridge. All in all, a good day of shooting. Thursday, Walt had to devote to family which was good as I was under the weather somewhat. Yesterday, I picked him up before dawn and we drove to Pitcher, OK. (a Superfund cleanup site.) We spent several hours there exploring the ramshackle buildings and dodging rain showers. Almost as far opposite as you can get from Wednesday's subjects, yet, still evidence of nature. I am still working on post and will put online sometime this weekend. Ted
