I like the edges; the borders and boundaries. I spend my time out near the periphery of things, and my photos are a visual representation of these tendencies. They’re a form of mnemonic for me – I can look at one and savor a moment that has already passed. I take them for me, but I don’t mind sharing them with whoever wants to look at them.
Some of my favorite subjects: The transition between day and night, between night and day. Horizons. Shorelines. Fence-rows, fences, and gates. Empty roads, especially ones that end in boat ramps. Bridges. Docks, piers, jetties, and pilings. Spillways. Trails. Trees, and other living things. Old things, falling into disrepair. Light and shadow, lines and textures. Patterns, and things in series. Reflections.
I am self-taught, and sometimes frustrated by weaknesses in my technical abilities. I don’t edit, in general, although at times I do rotate to correct horizons. That’s about all I know how to do.
In the time period covered by this photoblog, I’ve been through three cameras. Photos prior to August 2007 are taken with a Canon PowerShot A95. Photos taken between August 2007 and December 2008 are taken with a Canon Rebel XTi, 18-55mm kit lens. Photos taken from December 2008 on are taken with a Canon Rebel XS, 18-55mm IS or 70-300mm III kit lens.
I can be contacted via email: lifeontheedges at gmail dot com.
Oh, and I hate flash, never use it.
Is there a charge to be put on your “Photographer” search list? We live in New Castle and enjoy the beautiful
surroundings.

Hi,
I was searching for info around about Woodland Beach and found your great photos.
I own a home there, and have the website http://www.woodlandbeach.net.
I was wondering if I could have permission to share your photos of Woodland Beach and would be happy to credit you and link to your page?
Thanks!
Loral
