John Rogers (1829-1904) "Bushwhackers were guerrilla fighters who were not affiliated with an army but carried out attacks against opposing individuals or families. Most of these attacks took place in rural areas in the border states between the opposing sides. They often degenerated into neighbor-on-neighbor fighting, and the violence escalated into atrocities that resulted in hundreds of deaths, such as the burning of Lawrence, Kansas, and the murder of two hundred men and boys in August 1863. In Rogers' sculpture a man with shaggy hair and beard and dressed in ragged clothing stands with a rifle in his hand and a knife tucked in his boot. His wife tries to pull away his gun with one hand and with the other places their child in his arms, begging him not to go. The man, who might otherwise look fierce and terrifying, inclines his head toward his baby with closed eyes, responding sweetly to his wife's plea."
I left my heart in...there are pieces of it all over the world, but this photo was taken at Paradise Point in St. Thomas. I hadn't had my DSLR for long and this was my first time using my Lensbaby fisheye. I wish I had used a different aperature ring, but am happy with the shot. Google "Bushwacker"-the drink Paradise Point is famous for. It's amazing any of my photographs turned out after one of those!
