These photos have a different feel to them and I realized that when I took them. Since the evening that I took those sunset photos and the evening that I crawled over and through salvage debris, things had changed. I met someone that was very encouraging and enthusiastic about my photography. Oddly enough, she's a very good photographer of landscapes and architectural subjects - things I wasn't so sure about.... But these things get you thinking. So as I was on my way to work one morning, crossing the south bridge onto the island - I looked at the growing pile of wreckage on the side of the road and saw potential. They were destroying the existing drawbridges and replacing them. All of the salvage debris was just tossed to the side. In other words, opportunity was knocking.
And this is about the time that I started to think about myself as some sort of photographer. Of course, I kept that to myself for fear of laughing out loud if I claimed to be one.
These photos are still hanging in my home and probably always will. Particularly the first two - I was very fond of the "orange gear" as when I took the photo, I was the President of the local Rotary Club....
