Exploring the world around us
In what has become a New Years Day tradition some of us get together and go out to shoot in the local area. This year we went to Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. There is so much history in the place and everywhere you look you see the names that are tied to the city and area. This is the very first photo I took and it is the first one in 2020.
Sunset on the gulf coast in Destin Florida last week. Our first vacation in a long, long time. I was hoping for some really dramatic clouds and colours but it was still beautiful.
Art Museum, Forest Park St. Louis.
The culmination of Artica is the Burn of our Lady Artica. It was quite an experience along the riverfront in St. Louis, by the old Cotton Belt Depot. This yearly event is now definitely on my calendar.
One of my favourite times of the year for photography is Paint Louis. It is usually held on Labor Day weekend and graffiti artists from all over come in to paint the flood wall south of the Arch grounds. Though there have been some issues over the years with illegal art going up in the city during the event the city is tolerant of the event at the wall. This first image is done by my friend Norm4eva. She is an amazing artist and I am so inspired by her work. More of her work can be seen on her Instagram account. Norm4eva on Instagram

Really loved this scene when I saw it, and it worked much better in black and white.
Seems like a trustworthy fellow.
See in the Grove, St. Louis.
