Karl Hardman Camera

In celebration of Halloween and in honor of the late Karl Hardman I am posting a picture of my Minolta 16 camera that once belonged to Karl. Mr. Hardman was a producer of mostly industrial films but was mainly known for his production and acting role in the 1968 horror classic, Night of the Living Dead.

Passages?

For some reason I find myself photographing bridges of various types quite often. Maybe I just find them visually appealing or maybe they represent something more than just a photo op. I’ve also taken photographs of doors, gateways and the least frequent, windows. Maybe I don’t like to do windows! Perhaps some psychoanalysts might say these images represent a passage, a journey, the journey of life or even a fascination with a passage into the afterlife. Nevertheless, I present them here, good, bad or indifferent beginning with perhaps the smallest set, windows then doors and gateways and ending with bridges.
