Posted on September 4, 2008 by GLSmyth

Along with the boats on Tilghman Island, and shanties to accommodate the working boats.  The shanties are, needless to say, function over form, but because of that have their own particular charm.  Like the boats that outlive their purpose, when … Continue reading →

Shelter

Posted on August 14, 2008 by GLSmyth

Annapolis, Maryland is a place for boats.  Even when one gets away from the dock downtown, it is difficult to find a long stretch along the water where there is not accommodation for a boat.  This makes complete sense, as … Continue reading →

Kathy Sitting

Posted on June 23, 2008 by GLSmyth

Bridge To The Gazebo

Posted on April 14, 2008 by GLSmyth

A while back I wrote about locations to which one returns to shoot. Although the location is the same, the feeling may not be. Even when the feeling is the same, the choice of how one decides to shoot the … Continue reading →

Unaware

The Gazebo
