I have had some interesting assignments lately from our county lifestyle magazine. The October issue will feature three senior citizens and their "retirement" activities. The three represent the arts in painting, photography, and singing. As usual, it is always a great experience meeting new people; especially ones that are so talented.
I got some nice images and here are some samples:
Over his life, Fred Bacon has been an artist, an educator, and a world traveler. He is on advisory committees for museums. In his eighties, Fred shows no sign of slowing down. His retirement has become busier than his pre-retirement life. A great person talk to.
Kitty Wise is a self-taught vocalist. She started singing just because she liked it and learned arrangements from recordings she liked. Her husband, Don, and friends and family encouraged her and eventually she put together an act and plays local venues. She has a very faithful following.
Conrad Karlson has had his own photography business as well as an acting career. He has appeared in feature films and television shows. I had met Con before and it was a treat to meet up again and be able to photograph him. All the while talking "photography."
I take my cameras everywhere I go so I don't miss anything. Here are some recent efforts.
The Peconic River in Riverhead, NY. Just after sunset.
A fly fishing expert holding forth at a local cultural event.
A Civil War reenactor.
This jolly guitar player was performing at the Kutztown Folk Festival.
Some cool refreshment at the festival.
Sometime, you just have to get out of the sun and take a rest.
The international headquarters of Penske.
Some training going on at the Pennsylvania Riding Academy.
My brother-in-law's house in Riverhead.
And, again....
