If these seem odd, well, they rather are. They were removed from the U.S. Treasury Building in D.C. in 1908, and gifted to the City of Lincoln in 1916 to honor William Jennings Bryan ...?! :S e 1916 The four sandstone columns in this park entrance were quarried in Virginia and used in the construct...

Well documented Chuck.... Thanks, Frank. I suppose it really is a "labor of love..." Cute, expressive series. You’ve really. Caught her spirit! That second one is a gem. Thank you Minnie. She has acting in her blood. Brought a smile and tears to my eyes thinking of the grand kids. Thanks, Ed. I thi...

Isn't it wonderful how the simplest things are the most wonderful;

Actually, it's not that simple. Getting that pair of passionate purples to stand out without coming in tight on them shows exceptional skill!

At the Children's Museum, a favorite photo-op. One section is devoted to theatrical entertainment, complete with a stage, drops, props, costumes, and lights the kids themselves can operate. There's even a ricky-ticky upright pinanner with a glass front so you can see the hammers and stuff. The Kid (...

Hmp. Didn't let you back to your car? I did not know that. Probably good I didn't because I was on a ferry once when my primary suddenly froze so I trotted down to the car deck and got my backup. That was a Long Island ferry and I don't think I saw any signs... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I like the picture very much...

I wouldn't critique a thing. I like it just as it is. You have in your signature line, Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like. I think you managed exactly that!

yepper, what Frank said. However... perhaps... Words grab and suck the eye right in, so the image feels top heavy. maybe softer words, or move them to the bottom to ground them. My thoughts as well. I think it's overall really good, but I immediately thought, "Ghost the type;" reduce its opacity. M...

I've recently been getting away with using a monopod ( http://www.photomentoris.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4201&p=33761#p33761 ). The camera is not mounted on it but rather cradled in it, and hangs around my neck otherwise while I use the monopod as a kind of walking staff. I've been in several museums...

I like Chuck's comments about this very much. I am with him 100 percent - I would have this hanging on my wall in a heartbeat. It gave me much to think about with it's understated beauty and mood. Since a master such as he is intended to be imitated, I paid him homage by attempting to edit an image...
