They Come Out At Night

Posted on September 17, 2016 by GLSmyth

At times the images pile up like slices of bread, some put on a plate to consume now, some stuck in a bag for later, and some crammed in the freezer to be either eaten later or forgot about until … Continue reading →

Infrared

Posted on July 10, 2013 by GLSmyth

Before the Internet became available to everyone, I was a Sysop in the photography section on Compuserve.  We did not have the opportunity to share images at that time and one of the frustrations was trying to explain the Wood … Continue reading →

View From A Madrid Cafe

Posted on July 12, 2011 by GLSmyth

In 2003 I traveled to Spain to attend Englishtown. Arriving at the hotel with two of my three pieces of luggage (at least I had my cameras), I unpacked and headed out to get something to eat. Finding a place … Continue reading →

Actually, this is a path within Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. It is an infrared image and printed using the lith process, which accounts for some of its more interesting components. Not long after taking this picture I was … Continue reading →

Graveyard Angel

Posted on January 8, 2009 by GLSmyth

I have taken many pictures of graveyard angels over the years. I am not sure of the attraction, but if nothing else, it breaks up the sterility of more modern graveyards, which only allow plaques flush with the ground. This … Continue reading →

Abandoned Boat – Tilghman Island – Starboard

Posted on January 5, 2009 by GLSmyth

There are numerous abandoned boats throughout the Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately, pollution over the years has decreased the number of crabs, oysters, and fish to the extent that earning a living as a waterman is no longer feasible. This once proud … Continue reading →

Tilghman Shanties

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 →

Tilghman Island Boats

Posted on August 25, 2008 by GLSmyth

Boats are often used for pleasure, but also serve as working tools and simple transportation.  This is the case with these boats on Tilghman Island, Maryland.  And yes, as on Smith Island, when their time of usefulness has passed, they … 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 Distracted

Posted on July 28, 2008 by GLSmyth

The best relationships are those where the competition is minimized, and each person respects what the other is doing. I photograph, Kathy reads, when she is not on the stage. It is not uncommon for us to go somewhere, separate … Continue reading →

Door And Tree

Posted on June 26, 2008 by GLSmyth

One of the more recognizable buildings in Annapolis, Maryland is St. Anne’s Church in the middle of the appropriately named Church Circle. The church was used in an episode of the West Wing, where I stood outside with numerous others … Continue reading →

Kathy Sitting

Posted on June 23, 2008 by GLSmyth

This is a complement to the Kathy Reading. The image is actually rather small, being a contact print of a 4.5X6 cm negative, and my preference is for the smaller size, as it is more intimate.

Inside The House Of Dreams

Posted on June 12, 2008 by GLSmyth

One of my favorite images is House Of Dreams, and I have even offered an image from behind the house.  This image was taken inside. Bromoil wonderfully allows me to offer this much with the same feeling I had when … Continue reading →

Between Marsh And Bay

Posted on May 22, 2008 by GLSmyth

I have previously blogged of the abandoned boats on Smith Island here and here. This particular image has meaning for me personally, but not in a way anyone would realize. The foreground shows marsh grasses and takes the lower half … Continue reading →

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

Posted on April 10, 2008 by GLSmyth

One of the most frustrating things for me is my failure to remember names. It seems like I am able to figure out how to do just about anything, but when it comes to remembering the name of someone I … Continue reading →

Ethereal Reflections

Posted on March 13, 2008 by GLSmyth

Looking for suitable subject was a learning process when I started shooting with infrared film. I quickly learned that this versatile film worked wonderfully well in some situations, and disastrously poor in others. Around this time I had been in … Continue reading →

Discovery – Bromoil

Posted on March 3, 2008 by GLSmyth

About 8 months ago I offered Discovery. It has always been and will continue to be one of my favorites. As mentioned before, sometimes I render images in different ways to offer different interpretations of the same scene. In this … Continue reading →

Bosky Bagatelle

Posted on February 25, 2008 by GLSmyth

Some images come quickly, others slowly. I am unsure how many times I have printed this image, and each time I work on it I find a different approach. This is just one of many interpretations.
