A very short return to Key West with someone important to me both personally and as a photographer. We ran around like idiots with cameras for a couple of days. I used my DSLR, she used her 35mm and threw random filters on the lenses that were on sale. Both approaches were pretty great. Almost immediately upon returning to Key West, I realized that how I looked at things in terms of how I'd take a picture had changed. For the better, I hope.
As much as it might seem that I go down to Key West all the time to take photos, it would be over five years before I returned after this trip.....
A couple of these photos (the cemetery cat, the cemetery water well and the house with the funky wall) were buried on my hard drive until tonight. All of the cemetery photos were shot through the fence - we were too late to walk through. And the photo of the Afterdeck sign is still one of my all time favorite photos of anything.
I included both the original camera image and the tarted up one that I've used for years of the broken angel statue. I think I prefer the original now. We'll chalk that up to evolving tastes....
And the photo of the girl? Well. I had forgotten that existed until tonight. So I'm including it for purposes of nostalgia.
I think I'll start jumping around a bit more in terms of chronology now. I hope you enjoyed the ride so far....
