Tomorrow, to get away from the downtown DC traffic and ado related to the 4th of July, we will be driving up to Bedford County, PA. Any suggestions from anyone in the area? We will be passing through Frederick, Hagarstown, Cumberland, and where ever else on our way to Hyndman. and then back.
Anyone have any can't miss places they would like to share? A good weathered barn on the way, perhaps? :)
maybe old weathered people? That would be cool - a really old guy in a really old pair of jeans in front of a really old building...with a grape nehi. (does that show my age?)
I'd love to meet you there Sunday but, alas, we will only be there Friday, doing one of our marathon drives. We hop into the car around 8AM and drive until we get home (sometimes at 1AM). Saturday we will be on/around the Chesapeake Bay finding a boat and Sunday, if we have energy left, will be Front Royal, Va wandering the woods.
On these marathon drives I go out looking for the perfect location for a later shoot when the weather/season/timing is right; so we don't spend much time in one place. I have these pictures in my head and I'm hoping to find the place they need to be shot. I will have props with me though, just in case the weather cooperates - pray for thunderstorms!
If you can meet up Friday, or anyone else who's interested, that would be cool.
What I hate is when I see that "Perfect" image driving by, save it in my head for that later challenge, then go back, take a look, and go, "Aw SH*T!!!!", 'cause it's NEVER like I remembered it! LOL!!!
I've been watching for some of their reenactments. They seem to have a lot of them from different eras. But they always seem to fall on days I have to work.
