Clarke County

Bicentennial

One of my assignments today for The Winchester Star was to shoot an open house type event for a big farm in Clarke County.  I got there and all I wanted to do was shoot the house itself!  You can’t send a real estate photographer (that appears to be my calling these days) to an event at a 200-year-old farm house and expect him to avoid shooting the farmhouse, right?!  What an awesome place.  They’re celebrating all year – check it out one weekend.

My assignment wasn’t to shoot the house itself so I didn’t have the proper tools with me, but this scene just jumped out at me.  What an awesome little reaading nook in the basement at the bottom of the stairs.

Race

About 10k from finishing my ride this evening I realized that it was going to be an awesome sunset.  All I could think about was getting back in time to send up the aerial cam and get some great shots.  The race was on.  That was a pretty fast 10k especially at the end of the ride.

Millwood Mill

Another edition of “In My Town.”  This one’s not technically in my town, but it’s close enough.  I go on a group ride on Tuesdays that rides right past this Mill.  Wonderful scenery in Clarke County, VA.

Horse

A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

Ran across this guy on my shoot out in Clarke County this morning. What a great morning to be out shooting.
