Long Time Gone

Well it's been several months since I've posted. I spent 3 months in Florida, but I've been back in WV since July. July through Christmas is a very busy time in South Charleston where I live and do photography for the City.


As soon as I returned, we hosted the Cincinnati Belle Riverboat for two days. I spent a lot of time out on the Kanawha River just enjoying the Mountains, since I'd been at sea level for 3 months.




Soon after that, Summerfest rolled around. That's our 5 day festival with music, food and a Car Show. My favorite night is always Rick K and the All Nighters.

September was totally different for me this year, usually I do the South Charleston Arts and crafts Fair around the Indian Mound, Shoney's Car Show and Octoberfest... however this year I took time for me. I attended two photo workshops and took a trip to the Mountains for some Fall Foliage photography.

The first workshop was at Cass Railroad. On Sunday morning they brought out the engine and ran it down the tracks a few times for us. This was one of my favorite captures.

Canaan Valley was perfect. I went a week later then usual this year and hit it just right. This image was taken behind the lodge at Blackwater Falls State Park.
