Description


No idea what this was for. Another wall at the Goodall Mill in Sanford, Maine. Alternate title: "Wall Thing and Its Shadow" ................ So here's a bit of unrelated information for you: Bill has been busy working on genealogy stuff, finding our ancestors and figuring out who came over from Europe and when they came and where they lived. Among the fascinating stories he's discovered, the piece of information I think you'll find most interesting is that Bill and I are 10th cousins! (Just straight 10th cousins, no "removes.") Yup ... his 8th great-grandmother (born 1624), and my 8th great-grandmother (born 1637), were sisters. Their parents (our mutual 9th great-grandparents) came to America on the Mayflower in 1620. I had always known about my connection to the Mayflower, but imagine Bill's surprise when he was working at the computer and realized he had his own connection! What do you imagine the chances are of two people meeting on Renderosity, becoming friends, falling in love, getting married, and several years later finding out they're part of the same family tree?? ................. If you like this sort of thing, here's a Wiki on our 9th great-grandfather: John Howland

This is my kind of shot, Tara: Not that I do many of them, but that I love the type. A few objects, so well seen and arranged (by your crop), terrific contrasts, heavy shadow vs bleaching light, contrast of rusticated stone on top and that rusted metal below and that spigot (all white and decayed with spackle) and the bright white of the bricks: You didn't just 'find' these, you coaxed them out, and you made this a terrific abstract. Claude coaxes things out too: It's a real art. The long wall is perfect foil for the metal whatever-that-is. Zoom's a must: This is first rate abstract photography T. (What's 222-40? The address? Wait---I see it! It's in the metal circle. Sneaky! Sneaky title, T!!!)

You've told me about your genealogical discoveries, and that you and Bill are 10th cousins: It's amazing. I'd say it's a 'small world', but it's a huge world and maybe there was just karma, kismet, cupidology, I don't know what. (I owe you a letter, and a response to the source photos you sent---you really did surgery on that piece! When I step down again, I'll get in touch.) This is a terrific image---sneaky title, but terrific image!

Great work the 2 of you! My brother has had contact with a Canadian in Alberta. That fellow has charted all persons in the world with our unusual last name. We originate from Kurland (between Latvia and Lithuania) in the 1400s. Genealogy is SO interesting! And both my parents are related from back in the 1700s. It shows how people have spread through the world. As for your photo, Faemike55 may be onto something! Keep up the good work! :-)

Worker 1: "Hey, Fred, what's this thing?" Worker 2: "I dunno...... But I got an idea... Let's stick it on the wall. Someday a photographer will come by and take a photo of it!"

😁

You see art in the most commonplace things, Tara! The light and shadow is wonderful, and really brings out all the different textures.
