Spent the better part of a week down in Williamsburg, Kentucky recently. The photojournalism workshop I was participating in kept me more than busy, was still able to snap a few shots that weren't directly related to my story.
Should probably take a moment to stop and thank HIVE and all the folks who've supported me over the years. I would name drop but then @dandays might think I'm trying to imitate him. Had to power down a little over 2.6k Hive to help cover the costs of the workshop, which ended up being rather clutch. Now that I'm back, going to use most of my liquid rewards to replenish what got powered down. Weird internet piggybank...
Tried to explain Hive to some of my classmates, don't know that it went very well but it was interesting. From the reactions I got to mentioning crypto, we've still got a ways to go before there's widespread adoption. Nothing negative, just unfamiliar. Like internet in the 90s.
For the workshop we had a shot limit, initially 1000 shots in total, with a 'gift' of an additional 200 shots late in the week. While I wasn't especially thrilled with having to be more deliberate in my shot selection, I was still glad to live in the digital age. In the film days, workshop participants were limited to ten rolls of film.
These shots are a mix of ones from around Williamsburg, along with a couple from the organic farm outside of town where I did my story. Once the story got going it was hard to find time to explore town, may have to find my way back there sometime soon.
Special thanks to Chuck and Casandra down at the iHop and Moses, big shout-out to him and his brother and..
Weird they make you pay a fee to teach.
Ha, Williamsburg ain't big enough to have an Ihop, even with I-75 running through it. You still got the gist of it though.
It would be but I've got a ways to go before they'll let me teach there. Did learn a hell of a lot though, the folks they had teaching have seen some shit.
I like the last image, how old is that building? I haven't seen a cinema like that before. I think there was something a little similar in the town I grew up in in England, but it didn't have the same sort of triangular shape to the front with the ticket booth.
From what I could find on the internet: "The Art Deco-styled Lane Theater in Williamsburg, Kentucky was opened on July 15, 1948 and closed in 1987." One of the locals told me that at some point the daughter of owner of the theatre was killed there and that it was supposedly haunted but I wasn't able to confirm that. They are currently renovating the place. Hmm, I'm curious if the one in the down you grew up in was another variation of Art Deco?
A beautiful collection of photographs, but the first one of the tree looks so precious and full of peace that I loved it very much, excellent work!
Thank you! Mornings in the mountains had a lot of that precious and full of peace feeling, the tree just seemed to encapsulate that. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for dropping by!
Thank you!
Congratulations. Today's #monomad third place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
