All Silver and Shadows and Visions of Things Not Seen…

I photographed this elevator at an abandoned resort a few weeks ago. When I brought it up on my computer screen I thought I nice ocean coming through the back of it would be interesting. The beautiful Atlantic Ocean was photographed from the beach at Pine Knoll Shores in North Carolina using my Fuji X-T1 (my go to camera). I really like working with this image in black and white for mood and contrast. Color would have lost the feeling I wanted.

The title is an excerpt from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. The words summed up what I was creating.

Love the image and the mood it evokes. I was also going to tell you how much I REALLY loved the title but then I saw where it originated from. But hey, why wrack your brain for titles and quotes when you can borrow great ones that already exist. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t done it myself.

  Words are not my thing, images are so I go seek my titles in song or prose.

In fact, I’m sorry I never borrowed that one, it’s great for photography!
