(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.

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,

photos of the yard.

(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.

No, that’s not the clubhouse in the park.

Again, Exhibit A

We continue our journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of
