WPC – Weathered

January 10, 2018January 10, 2018Chris and Carol 4 Comments

I find my photography tends to skew towards – weathered “things”, natural and man-made. Here’s a small sample –

Iron, Rust, Wood

Mossy Post

Sun Blasted Train

“I see a red door and I want it painted black”

Weathered Bricks – Fujica GS 690 on Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100

Rock On my Weathered Friend

Many thanks to the fine City of Fernandina Beach, Florida – Amelia Island, for providing such a rich palette of weathered things for me to photograph. All of these images were taken within a 3 block area of the Historic District downtown.

Thanks for stopping by!

c1911 Post Office – Amelia Island

A favorite of mine to photograph – the interior of our c1911 post office here on Amelia Island. For the most part it’s survived its 115 year plus history pretty much intact. I’m told that this is exactly the same way this door has looked since 1911. Amazing.

Beautiful quartersawn oak – excellent casework and attention to detail. Can you imagine replicating this today?

Thanks for stopping by!

Fading Florida…

Closed and forgotten long ago when the super highway passed it by. Abandoned and neglected. Sun bleached, baked and peeling – rust overwhelms then destroys. Plants invade, cracks widen, water seeps in. Rot and mold – bugs and rodents. Soon to collapse – no restoration – forest takes over.
