Photo Class… Plymouth Fountain.

Maria and I only have a couple of classes left …We have really enjoyed the class..

But as I said before.. I am definitely going to have to take the class again.

A fellow student who has taken this class four times before said..

“Every time I take the class.. Brian has something new and interesting to say.. that he may not have said in a previous class. I am always learning.”

This made me feel a lot better about taking the class again.

Part of the syllabus stated there are two field trips..We missed the first one to Maybury State Park.. because it was HELL DEGREES outside !!!

I told Maria.. if she wanted to go.. no problem.

As for my self. I know better than to send a menopausal woman out into Hades.

It ain’t pretty..People

Yesterdays’ Field Trip was close to home.. Downtown Plymouth.

Our assignment was to simply shoot the fountain.. We could do whatever we wanted..as long as the fountain was in the shot…

SO. I thought I’d share my evening shoot with you.

Oh…and by the way.. It was THE most beautiful evening!!

Yay !!!

I give you… Plymouth Fountain.

My first attempts were to literally to just shoot the fountain..

Then I tried to get a little creative and place other objects with the fountain.

Soon… I realized my favorite thing to shoot is PEOPLE.. and the fountain.

Especially little people..

I mean they just can’t hide the joy they feel…

Again whilst monkeying with the dials… I tried to get all Artsy Fartsy…

I don’t know…

I kind of like it….

This little guy and his Mom and Dad.. Melted my heart..

I mean come on… how precious it that?

While we were having a good time..

Maria wasn’t feeling so hot..

( Yeah.. she has MY cold … sorry sweetie) and wanted to head home to crash… I decided to head home too..

When I got there Mr R asked why I was back so soon.. I explained about Maria and started to put my stuff away..

He suggested we go back … sit at one of the towns many bistros to have a glass of wine…and if I felt like it we could go back and try to do some shooting as the light went down…

And that my friends... is exactly what we did

Ending up right across the street from the fountain at

Comparis .

A little Bruschetta

A little appetizer plate..

A couple "O" glasses of wine..

I was good to go….

Ready to take on the fountain again…

Albeit a bit darker…

It was such a beautiful night.. almost chilly…

The crispness of the air…The sound of people all around you… The smell of food ….

If I closed my eyes.. it was almost like being transported back to Italy…

I got some more kind of cool shots…

Or maybe they just seemed a lot cooler after the wine?

Meh.. I don’t know.. and I don’t care.

All I know is … Once again sometimes the best memories you make are the ones you don’t even plan for.

Thanks for sharing the night with me Honey…&... Thanks for being so good.
