ANOTHER OLD HOUSE THAT WAS ONCE A HOME.

About Me
- Name: Lloyd
My home is in Chamberlains, CBS, Newfoundland: a place close enough to sea so that I can go there to watch the glorious sunsets over the bay, and the other infinite variety of sights and sounds that are forever changing, yet forever the same. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't get around much any more, but I've had many wonderful hours of enjoyment with my Yasihca 44 TLR and trusty old OM-2. I've always enjoyed photographing wild flowers, particularly the smaller ones, many of which , albeit mostly overlooked and dismissed as weeds, are exquisitely beautiful. Digital photography, complete with all the magic of its own portable darkroom, has brought a new dimension to the hobby. My OM-2 is retired now, but it is such a beautiful instrument, such a joy to hold and behold, that I don't think I will ever want to part with it. My digital, used mostly, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Its 35-420 mm Leica zoom lens can really reach out for those hard to reach shots. My photographs are strictly amateurish, but hopefully some have succeeded in capturing something of the moment that inspired them.

This photo brings to my mind the words of the song "Where Fishermen Used To Be." The old house I grew up in was also Red with White trim. Love it. Thanks.
I'd love to be able to spend at least one whole day in every one of those little communities. Driving by one can only get a fleeting glimpse so that almost everything that is not conspicuous is missed.
Seeing so many houses, not necessarily all old, boarded up and abandoned is a very unsettling experience.
