tin shed (kansas from a car, scenes from I-70)
















oh, give me a home
where there is
character in the land

stone posts
tin sheds
and forever

the smell of the
earth


*My adventure this past week was strapping pieces of wood to my feet and pointing them down a mountain. It has been a few years since we have gone skiing so I thought it qualified as something “new”.  However, I discovered that driving through Kansas on I-70 to Colorado presented another “new” experience: photographing “while in motion”.  The pictures in the following series were taken from the car as it sped down the highway at a little over 75 mph.  I deleted many photos but came up with a few that I am pleased with. Most of the images were taken on a slow shutter speed…thus, the enhanced sense of motion. Hope you enjoy.

  4. Hi Melinda....yes, i moved the camera on some...used a slow shutter speed. I really just experimented. I was trying really hard to get some good trucks. But they were more difficult. Thanks for your comment.
