South Carolina Wild Hog

January 24, 2018 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography Leave a comment

Wild pigs have been present in coastal South Carolina since they were released by the Spanish in the 1500s. Their historic range was geographically limited to floodplains of major river systems. In the mountains of the state, Eurasian wild hogs were introduced in the early 1900s.

We came across 2 but only photographed this one. We have seen hogs in this same marsh location before.

This one was most interested in the warm sun. However, a few minutes later heard us and moved back into the tall grass.

While they will run when seeing people I don’t really want to bump into any while out on the dikes…which is almost right behind the hog.

Alligator Breathing Through The Ice

The national news has been filled with an image of a poor Alligator breathing through a hole in the ice. South Carolina has a few right in the Charleston area.

Here is a photograph taken in the Donnelly Wildlife Management Area. This particular Alligator had a spot large enough for his head.

Other Side Of The Tracks

When we crossed the tracks here we found abandon gas stations. Not unheard of.

It was interesting that the empty gas stations were directly across the street from each other.

At some point there must have been enough traffic to support them. Now, both are empty, as well as the street.

Sit A Spell

The back porch of an old plantation. Traditional rocking chair of course.

Even today, every front porch in my neighborhood has rockers. It’s a southern thing.

I have had an old rocker like this for over 30 years. But I’m not leaving out on my porch !

Does a series like this make you uncomfortable? My style certainly doesn’t help. But when I take these photographs I am certainly focused on the ‘rust and ruin’.

From a walk around a small town. As usual I choose to use black and white on this type of shot.

Some towns have revitalized their main streets, others are still trying.

Main Street Is Disappearing

Christmas lights in July, wide streets with no cars, and people gone.

It’s usually never as bleak as the black and white photograph can portray it. I admit to slanting my B&W images that way. It’s the medium and how I like to use it.

Of course there are locations that a soft color shot is just as effective.
