My youngest son Kevin, along with our “Adopted Third Son Rob” invited me to go out photographing with them this past weekend. Rob just got a new camera and is planning a big trip, and I think he was hoping I would teach him something. Hopefully I did! 🙂
We visited the nearby town of Belmont, NC, hoping things would be a bit quiet on a Sunday morning. How wrong we were! There was a farmer’s market going on, a number of restaurants were open for brunch and there were cars and people everywhere!
We managed to find some quiet spaces to enjoy a little creativity. The day started off overcast and gloomy, which made interesting photographs a bit of a challenge, but it provided a good learning opportunity. I enjoyed looking for good monochrome candidates and managed to find a few. Shortly after noon the sun made an appearance and I managed to get a few color shots and some shadows.
We capped off our outing with a stop at a local distillery for a snack and some rum. A good time was had, for sure!

Excellent! Looks like a fun day out.

It was nice to get out for a while, with good company!
Monte Stevens
What a wonderful day to spend with family!!! Great series that depicts the day.

Thank you, Monte. Even when we are just having fun we end up seeing interesting things. Maybe especially when we’re just out having fun!

I haven’t done anything like this in years. My step-daughter is the only one in the family who has taken an interest but we haven’t paired up for photography in a long time.

There used to be a group of local guys who would get together periodically and visit nearby towns to photograph. They seem to have all gone separate ways and I never hear from them any more. Paul Lester, are you reading this? 😉
