Planning to enter a creative photography competition, I started playing with an idea I had and finally came up with this. It's quite different from my regular techniques but i had fun with it.

The aviation displays include pieces of a Boeing 737 that transported the Baltimore Orioles baseball team for a number of years. The vertical stabilizer and a cross section of the fuselage are visible here.

This lonely rocking chair was sitting by the trash can awaiting it's fate. I don't know why, but I felt like I had to shoot this and I really like it.
At the charlotte airport, there were rocking chairs in the waiting area. Now that's southern living!
This little girl is on an antique chair with an old wedding veil draped over her face and time ticking away.

My Rocking-Chair
Robert Service
When I am old and worse for wear
I want to buy a rocking-chair,
And set it on a porch where shine
The stars of morning-glory vine;
With just beyond, a gleam of grass,
A shady street where people pass;
And some who come with time to spare,
To yarn beside my rocking-chair.
Then I will light my corn-cob pipe
And dose and dream and rarely gripe.
My morning paper on my knee
I won't allow to worry me.
For if I know the latest news
Is bad,--to read it I'll refuse,
Since I have always tried to see
The side of life that clicks with glee.
And looking back with days nigh done,
I feel I've had a heap of fun.
Of course I guess that more or less
It's you yourself make happiness
And if your needs are small and few,
Like me you may be happy too:
And end up with a hope, a prayer,
A chuckle in a rocking-chair.
Poppy and Jim, together in their recently adopted roost: the rocking chair in the corner of the kitchen.

I NEVER do shadow pics (I think I have a stigma attached to them from so many poorly done ones by me and my classmates in high school photography)
But this one was charming...no?
Remy bundled up on the rocking chair at our friend's family farm near Colrain, Mass. They hosted us at the farm for thanksgiving 2005.
Wm C Holcomb was a master mechanic on the Illinois Central Railroad. He lived in Water Valley, Mississippi, in a small white frame house with green shutters and a big back addition added later. They called the lawn the "croquet ground." They had a black helper named Paralee who used to go out on Sundays and wring the necks of chickens for fried chicken dinner. Paralee had a nice family. Martha (my grandmother) stayed in touch with her younger brother, Toy, in Indianapolis, where he used to come over and help her with chores. (This is from Martha's recollection)
They built a home east of Water Valley, on a road that became East Street. He worked as a molder for the Illinois Central Railroad, where he made parts for the engines. He had a beautiful orchard and garden at home. (Taken from an article written by Jewell Holcombe Williams for the Yalobusha Co. History Book and forwarded to my mother by Betty Summers.)
