If these strange little guys are going to walk around me, I’m taking the shot.

Lily, Someday Soon
An assumption on my part, but I think I’m right.
Swamps are a contradiction. Bugs that bite. Things with big teeth. Beautiful flowers.
Guard Of Angels
An earthen mausoleum, ancient names called them barrows or burial mounds. Though this is certainly more ornate. Built by an old Charleston family going back to the original settlers from Barbados.
I’ve always thought this spot was perfect to be photographed using the old sepia colors and look.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Pelican And Shadow
Actually two shadows, a Gull just above him must have cast the second.

This is a pretty low pass over the shore by a big guy.
Magnolia, Agfa Precisa 100 film filter
One those ‘found on a walk’ photographs.
A large Magnolia blossom. Not sure which type of Magnolia, but it is from the huge trees we have here.
To be different the image used a 35 mm Agfa Precisa 100 asa film filter. I don’t remember having used this film so I’m going to assume it’s close since most of the DxO film filters are considered accurate.
Joseph Manigault House, 1803, Charleston SC
When I work in B&W my first inclination is the old houses in Charleston. This house was completed only 20 years after the US Revolution. It shouts out ‘Money’.
The plantation economy created so much wealth some people in Charleston couldn’t spend enough. The manor houses competed with each other for attention.
Two things all the big homes had in common were intricate chandeliers and grand sweeping stair cases.
What more could a photographer want !
Yellow-bellied Slider Turtles
A little convention going on in a back pond.
Not big by local standards, but nice to see a few not covered in swamp muck.
Brown Pelican
A shot you couldn’t pass up.
Big guy just strolling on the beach.
