Country time




A few shots of Darrell's farm & family along with a few of our place.
Finally, after a half dozen re-makes, I've included the
converted .mov video. It requires flash.
The other option being to ftp it to the server and embed.

color is beautiful but the black & white and sepia made it so wonderfully nostalgic, especially along side the music. very nice. and the pics of the little doll seemed so reminiscent of the 'us' growing up feeling. i love all those family pics.

There are so may wonderful photos in this collection it is hard to decide my favorite, but should I be pressed to name one, this would be one of the top contenders. I love it in bot sepia and color, but like Lydia, the the sense of nostalgia elevates for me with the sepia and B&W.

Beautiful

Charles Cirilo said...

Another wonderful shot.

So evocative of former moments in my own life, as Lydia said. Like a frozen moment. The leaves of the tree in the front left caught in motion, blurred as if you brought the scene to a sudden painful halt forcing time to wait a moment are perfect for me. ..

Jennifer Cirilo said...

Jennifer Cirilo said...

Jennifer Cirilo said...

Jennifer Cirilo said...

country boys & girls getting down on tha farm! :) yee haw!

Jennifer Cirilo said...

he?looks a lil wild eyed!

Lydia Carroll said...

favorite..? uumm.. agreed that's a very hard choice but this is definitely high listed. ok maybe i've decided this tops. :)

Lydia Carroll said...

i love this as well. as she waters the flowers she feels with her hands. it shows her sense of things. as though she already recognizes the beauty of it. whether she be feeling the leaves or feeling the water trickle through her fingers at the same time. she's such a doll anyway.

Lydia Carroll said...

this is definitely a Kodak moment.

Lydia Carroll said...

this is worth keeping. a vintage looking shot of a young boy and his trucks. what's to make it look more vintage than the basket sitting near by.

Lydia Carroll said...

i don't know why, but out of all of her with the wagon i love this one most.....

There are so many great photos here that I must repeat that I cannot truly narrow it down to a favorite. The one of Cody and his toys is also an example of artistry in a moment. I did a little cropping to show two other ways the photo could be presented.

Byron @ said...

I like this one too.

Byron @ said...

There is a sepia version Link: nostalgia_farm2

Byron @ said...

The second one is good.

Byron @ said...

This one was a luck shot. I had just handed the lead off to Heather and barely had my camera raised.

Byron @ said...

I like this also, kailani in flight. One day she will fly away.

Byron @ said...

Yes, the second one is better.

Lydia Carroll said...

ha, just what i thought. i was particularly liking her in motion there.

Charles Cirilo said...

I wanted to reduce the visual field to the subject matter, and use the discs to balance th weight of the boy and his toys. It was as if you had posed the photo that way.

Jennifer Cirilo said...

I like it...but I also like the dog being by the boy and his toys too.... Maybe it would have been better if the dog was asleep by the boy and not turning around being all nosey looking at the camera taking dude. :)

Lydia Carroll said...

oh, i thought you just wanted to use the disc to continue grounding the country scene. :)

Charles Cirilo said...

I liked the dog, too. He was in the wrong place, as I showed when I left him in. AND, of course the plow retains the country fell to the photo. i was simply commenting to the good fortune that provided it so ideally.

Byron @ said...

It's a highly trained country dog, but he wasn't sleepy:
