Want to start reading the blog from the very beginning?
Grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus, a suburban small town in North East New Jersey. Currently lives and works as a caretaker on a small island on Lake George in Upstate New York.
No photo contest today but yesterday's free photo postcard is currently on its way to Connecticut. The Caretaker is pretty pleased with how it came out.
Some very serene photographs and a hint of jealousy from me, would love 'some' of that solitude! Not sure I would want it year in year out though. Maybe that's what effects your image making, the calmness, but maybe it's just the place itself ?
Nice one, and thanks for popping by MY blog, best wishes, Glyn from another island with a population of 67,000 people :-)
Hey Glyn, thanks for stopping by my blog. The solitude does have its ups and downs but it is only during the winter, in the summer it gets a bit crowded but not 67,000 crowded. I'm looking forward to seeing your next post. Regards, Jeff
