Way Cool Fall Wedding
Photographer’s Gig: wedding for 21 guests.
Cake and Arrangement: Le Soleil Catering, Hagerstown, Maryland.
Venue: Am Kol Sanctuary Retreat, Poolesville, Maryland.
Perhaps in the way of old soldiers — or just old photographers — I’ve kept my gear in ready condition, and for that was able to respond well to the opportunity to shoot a wedding on short notice (seven days).
Report: everything worked!
Including me.
It took a fair part of Sunday, starting with the onset of a cold, to recover.
The cold, so I’m happy to note in light of the CLL, did not catch.

James Rumsey Monument, Shepherdstown, West Virginia, October 2010
This gallery contains 8 photos.
The trestle across the Potomac River, as viewed from James Rumsey Monument, is the Norfolk Southern Railroad Bridge at Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Recommended touring combo: spending an afternoon (or more) at Antietam National Battlefield a few miles across the river … Continue reading
Into Pumpkin Season – A Sampling from October 2010
This gallery contains 16 photos.
I only meant to find the above photo taken at an Amish market’s outdoor display one late afternoon about this time of year. The last Lightroom upgrade may have wiped out the “tags” for it though (and a whole lot … Continue reading
The Compleat Dean
Dean’s a most private person, so probably I will write very little about the person as subject.
Dean also enjoys a good drive, as do I. although, Mustang-equipped, I prefer to do the driving.
On this round, however, Dean wanted to reminisce about old bungalows and gander at new. The only stop made: the drainage pond of a new development.
You work with what you got, and out with Dean, minimal equipage help keeps life — or just stretching the legs — simple: so I brought along the “MAG” with the Lumix in it and, too obviously in the top plate, not so bad in the one below, a circular Polarizing filter.
End-of-Season, Early October
Overcast days, still warm.
The studio has booked a wedding and a baby naming, much welcomed work after a long, quiet spell.
Reading: Salmon Rushdie’s account of his exile from real space in the form of Joseph Anton, his nom-de-underground adopted in the wake of the death fatwa issued and maintained by the Ayatollah K’meanies.
And I’ve continued hanging out and jawing politics on Facebook too much.
Greg Trumpower, retired from the mortgage brokering business, is one of the town’s old sons. His dad worked at the Pangborn factory, now closed and razed but still a short walk from where Greg’s been living out a traditional rural dream of huntin’, fishin’, gardenin’, and pickin’ and singin’ Waylon — also his own material — with an old guitar.
It’s the company and the garden that gets me to stop by on the walks I use to escape from the desktop environment.
Above that plant on the kitchen porch railing, a sunroom has been readied for winter. “Bear”, the cat, will be keeping company.
Dean, who storms the day at the very first glimmer of early mid-afternoon, may be dropping by today for a drive in the countryside accompanied by Nikons.
Tepid, the morning and the writing — I know the reader feels it — and I do wonder if me and leuk might kick up the attitude some.

Equipage For the Above Set: still the point-and-shoot Lumix Lx5.
