Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos
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.

THE MV MANECO. 1931-1955
The great little ship that is so synonymous with the heydays of Bell Island. Seen here at the Beach terminal. First car ferry designed especially for the Bell Island tickle run. It could carry five cars. Was replaced by the Elmer Jones in 1960

A PAIR OF SPANISH PAIR TRAWLERS.
Photographed in St. Pierre, 1959. A method of fishing used on the Banks until mid 70s. Two ships towed a huge net between them, gathering every creature in its swath, including birds and mammals. Only cod were kept. Everything else was dumped, dead, back into the ocean. The barbaric destruction is mindboggling.

CAN SOMEONE IDENTIFY THIS PLACE?
The photo was taken in 1951 while on a trip down the coast on the schooner, Lillian M. Richards. I think it might be Twillingate, but I'm not sure.

SOMEWHERE NEAR NORMAN'S COVE. c.1960
The old highroad used to follow along the seashore. There were several places where we often stopped to gather mussels when the tide was out.
