Glen Echo

So...since no one put forth a guess about the location , I'll just tell you its Glen Echo. It is an amazing place! I went there when I was younger on a field trip with my elementary school. The main thing I remember is the carousel and that some women attempted to abduct a kid from my class named Alex.

Its such a magical place (Despite the near-abduction 15 years ago.)

Mandy and I were visiting my favorite art supplies store Pearl in Rockville one evening, when we saw a guide to classes being offered at Glen echo. We looked thru it and mused about the ones we thought would be fun and the ones we thought would be funny, when I remembered that it was suppose to be a restored amusement park that had been turned into a culture center. We immediately ran to the car, put the address into her GPS and headed there. It was past sunset and neither of us had our cameras, so we vowed to return another day cameras in hand, ready to shoot.

On the 18th of June, we met up for dinner and then headed to glen echo. I got some pretty good shots, both ttv and regular. I have to say, though the normal images are great, the ttv really adds something. Here are some of the ttv shots I really liked from Glen echo:

So here is a comparison of a normal digital shot and a ttv:

I like both shots, they both have pros and cons, but I like the character the TTV provides. It fits with this location, it adds to the "old" feel. But how about I let You be the judge :-)

Sorry that its been more than a week since my last post, but I was in Austin, TX from the 3rd until late last night. I would have posted before my trip but I was busy packing, etc. I know this is a poor excuse, but I have every intention of posting again before Saturday to make up for it.

In other news, this Saturday I will have a booth at the Celebrate Damascus Flea market, in Damascus, MD, at the corner of Route 124 (Woodfield Rd.) and Route 108 (Main Street). I will be selling my photography, some fine art prints of paintings I've done, as well as various crafts. Come out and stop by my booth any time between 8am and 4pm to browse or just to say "Hey" to my mom and me.

*(TTV stands for thru the viewfinder, and in my case, its thru the viewfinder of my Duaflex II)
