(Aug 30) August in Miller Place finally ends.

everything's gone gray
My very first photos as a child were in fact, black & white. Another thing I caught just the tail end of.

toadstools
It’s not that there was no color film when I was a child. Color had been commonplace since my parents time. But B&W was still cheaper, though not for very long.

we're not in kansas anymore, toto
Today of course, we’ve gone from B&W film being more expensive than color, to film itself in danger of extinction.

that toadstool has a tumor growing on it
I haven’t shot on film in twelve years now.

or a tiny pumpkin
If I recall correctly, my very first photos were similar to these,

at fungus eye level
photos of the yard.

In other news, … My wheels for the summer.

(Aug 29) The never-ending August continues. Having gone right from the house to Cedar Beach, I next went left to Cordwood Landing County Park. It is a strange place with a path that’s hard to follow. Is this tl;dv; ? (view) I took around 300 photos, so I’m only posting about a sixth of them. Five pages to click through.

all hail the politicians
As so often we do, our journey begins with a sign.

Natural

Vivid.
Unfortunately I don’t remember exactly what the difference is.

Additional guidance provided by the sawhorse.

revenuers stay away from mah still!
No, that’s not the clubhouse in the park.

It already feels like it gets dark early.

less wowee
Again, Exhibit A

the colors, the colors
Exhibit B. I think I like B better.

what's that up ahead?
We continue our journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of

(Aug 23) It is still August on this photoblog (forever?).

I start again, down Harbor Beach Road.

One of the many birds in the area.

There are a variety of different “views” here.

The temple of rollerblading
Where it all began. I learned and scraped here.

Looking west

I’ve been trying to get a bee in flight forever.

I’ve never seen anyone actually sitting here.

In all these years, I’ve never been on this path before.

Yet one more place nature is prohibited from nature.

(Aug 19) It was on this trip that I realized a few things. One was that walking provided most of the inspiration for photo-taking. The other was (related to the first) that I may have finally gotten a nice camera but at the wrong time in my life. Knowing my time here was short, I hit the street.

begin journey here
I started out…

harbor beach rd.
This road is indeed long and winding.

the winding road
I’d intended to go all the way to the harbor.

the long road
It ends in Mt. Sinai at Cedar Beach.

wooden wreckage
Oh poison ivy, I curse your very existence. You other ivy are ok though.

flowers
Keep in mind though, this is suburbia. None of this is wild.

suburban street garden
But that doesn’t mean it’s not nice.

rock and decomposed dead shit
What the streets are made of.
Unfortunately I didn’t get far before stepping in poison ivy, upon which I hurried back home to wash.

Pseudoreal is still in August. The end of Miller Place was near.

There was a small bamboo “forest” at the edge of the proprerty

It doesn’t handle snow or rain very well

And a few flowers around the foundation

I’m surprised the hurricane didn’t blow this thing away
