Custom House

Construction on the US Custom House in Charleston, SC, began in 1853 and was then halted in 1859 due mostly to the Civil War.  Construction resumed in 1870 and was completed in 1879.  It is still used today by several federal agencies.

abandoned

These old ore carts are reminders of the gold mining towns in the Western U.S. during the 1800’s.  This image was taken last year at a ghost town in southwestern Montana.  Processing was done to achieve an “older” photo look.

The Root Cellar

This root cellar is from the 1870’s.  The only lighting for the photo was the two small upper windows on the right side of the room.  This fisheye view was a five shot blended HDR with the longest exposure being about 4 minutes.  Olympus OMD with 7.5mm lens.

Re-visiting Glade Creek Grist Mill

This old mill is located in Babcock State Park, West Virginia.  Taken in the afternoon with some diffusion and saturation added to give it a rich postcard effect.

Mainstreet

Although now a ghost town, Bannack was once a vibrant gold mining center and the first capitol of the State of Montana. It has been pretty much untouched in 125 years. This photo was processed to resemble an antique image of the early 1900’s.

Coffee in Taormina

Piazza IX Aprile

This is one of the main Plazza’s in Taormina, Sicily. In the middle of the image is the Chiesa di San Guiseppe built in the late 1600’s. Taken with a 180 degree fisheye lens and somewhat straightened in postprocessing.

high notes

The organ at Basilica S. Maria Delgi Angeli E Dei Martiri in Rome, Italy. Note the size of the bench at the bottom to give a sense of scale.
