This picture was recently juried into the Superstitions and Beliefs at the Art League in Alexandria, Va. I took it at the Carlin Hall Community Center in Arlington, Va. It used to be a church, and the building dates back to 1892. I shot it with film, using my Mamiya 6 camera. After having the film processed, I scanned the negative into my computer and printed it from there.

I recently photographed this wonderful old Loudoun County house. The house has an interesting history for me.  About 5 years ago, I took a different photograph of it that I hung in the Torpedo Factory. The property was for sale at the time and a women who was interested in buying it happened to see my photograph. She saw it as a sign and purchased the property.

My website has been a place to showcase my black & white photography but recently I added two color sections, People and Places. I shoot with film for my black & white images and digitally when photographing in color. I love doing both.

While walking around Old Town Alexandria, I happened across this young woman who was posing for a professional photo shoot and asked the photographer if I could take a couple of shots.
