Photographyreview: The People

[Old Timer]

Your right KY has a lot to offer. We could do something in the horse country around Lexington and the Bluegrass region of the state. Or at one of the may great state parks. And for the city folks there is always Louisville with the river and some nice buildings. I think we have some great opportunities for photographers here.

You are right about that, old timer. There all kinds of opportunities across the whole state. I am working on a project now of doing B&W's of some of the local Historical Sites in the hopes of taking the prints to the Historical Society and see if they would be interested in using them for a calendar.

[Old Timer]

Sounds like a great project. I'd be interested in what you are including. I have done the bridges here in Fleming County of course. Some of my latest images are on a web site that I use for marketing photos. If you want to check them out you can go to www.printroom.com/pro/GoodingPhotography .

Very nice pics. Love the flowers and such. I see you have some pics of the Goddard (I think that's right) Bridge while it's being restored. Are they still in the process of that? Love your site. Would like to talk to you about that, but may do it in a pm so we don't clog it up on here.

I'm John, from Kalamazoo, Mi., retired, and I spent the past summer working out my D70 at Southwest Michigan Devil Rays games. I had 3 of my pictures (from 2004) turned into baseball cards. Also had a couple of pictures from this year published in At The Yard, a national publication about minor league baseball. Lately I've been shooting the fall colors and landscapes here in southwest Michigan.

I love the third picture, great framing, tak sharp, and good DOF. Have you tried it in sepia? I think it would look better than the red. I like it a lot though.
