There was an impromptu shadow puppetry display whilst on Sunday’s Maine Photography meet-up. I missed a shot of “Nixon meets a Duck”, but I liked this one… It’s the textures I think.

It’s probably only if you’re visiting from Maine right now, but I just wanted to point out that part of the diabolical contract I signed to put advertising on these pages states I don’t get any say on which are shown. So if you’re seeing ill-informed, self-righteous, hateful, homophobic anti gay marriage propaganda I can only apologise. Hopefully the sickening measure will be defeated and Maine gay couples will continue to enjoy a modicum of equality in some areas of their lives. Vote No on 1.

From Saturday’s Maine Photography Meetup in Wolf’s Neck State Park, 20 minutes south of here. Just the 5 of us, but it was a grand day for a walk. More soon I hope.

I’ve got me mum visiting at the minute so we’ve put her to work making fantastic meals in exchange for showing her around the Maine countryside. Today we went to Bath and Harpswell. This one’s from the latter. Got to go now, chicken curry and apple crumble are almost ready.

The town (not the waterfall) where Stephen King went to school if Wikipedia’s to be believed.

Nice area. It has trees… water… trees.

Jesse gave me a quick tour of the surroundings of Amherst, Massachusetts on Sunday. He’s got a ton of fancy equipment but doesn’t have the same narcissistic urge to share his pics with the internet at large so I can only guess at the outstanding quality of what he shoots. This one’s from Rattlesnake Creek near Leverett. Trees about to turn, bubbling brooks and long exposures made for a bucolic Sunday morning.

Our luchador money box was full so I emptied it and couldn’t resist a photo or three while my cheese on toast toasted.

There’s no real consensus on how to pronounce Bokeh. For me it rhymes with ‘okay’. Did you know in America the Hokey Cokey is the Hokey Pokey? That’s one of my favourite ‘liddle differences’. From Wolfe’s Neck park again as threatened in my last post…

Today I went off to explore Wolfe’s Neck State Park half an hour down the road near Freeport. It’s a nice mix of coast and wood and I’ll probably post a few more from round that way this week as the gaps in the trees made for some well nice bokehery.

This summer I gave away a couple of my old TTV cameras to some mates back in the UK but I picked up another one t’other day off of eBay for the princely sum of 11 dollars. I’m sorely tempted to do a 365, one-a-day TTV project for this Flickr pool, but i barely had time to play pacman on Facebook today let alone indulge my creative side.

Anyroad. Here’s my collection of guitars in my little office from various angles. Hope you approve.

This is one of the first shots I took in Maine, the only monosyllabic US state.
