We live in Northern Franklin county, pretty close to the beginning of Delaware County which is much more rural than our neighborhood. We pretty much live in suburbia thanks to good schools, safe streets and affordable homes, so it's fun to venture outside of it whenever I can because frankly, if I didn't have kids, I just wouldn't be living here.
So when we reached Delaware County, we pulled off the busy highway of Route 23 and got some great shots of the old Circle L Motel. And then a little ways down the road we pulled off onto what may have been private property due to what the sign read:
Warning: Crooks and thieves will be shot on the spot. Alarm will sound
It was starting to freak my son out a bit, but I just said, "Hey that's what an adventure is!"
After the barn and the motel, we headed back to an old cemetery that we've both been wanting to see, and got a little sad over the amount of small children buried there from the 1800s. CJ shot a video of that. He wanted to take all of his still pictures today with our old Pentax analog. I remind him constantly how to use it, and he's getting better with focusing, but the concept of adjusting the aperture and the shutter speeds seems to trip him up, so I have no idea until we get the film back how well his shots will be. He prefers film over digital. Can you imagine... an 8 year old preferring film over digital?
Anyway, it felt good to get out and get the shutter going. Here's a couple of my faves from today's photo shoot:

I hear you on that production work thing. I love it, but a nice break is great, too. I'm glad you got to go exploring :-)
Your eye is remarkable!
