Editing time is a little on the thin side as I am in full Mamma Mode…. with both boys here from Australia for the Holiday Season …. Terry and I greeted the sunrise (and moon set) this morning….. lovely and COLD though it was… quite well below freezing when we stepped out of the door of our hotel…
Then back to the Mill…. and more time spent discovering it’s myriad treasures…
My thanks to my wonderful traveling companion Terry, without whom the weekend would not have been quite so much fun! I love them all!! you’ve inspired me to get out and take more photos!! What great shots. How lucky you are to have such great photography locations to explore with friends!
The Lonaconing Silk Mill, also referred to as the Klotz Throwing Company, is the last intact silk mill in the United States. It is located in Lonaconing, Maryland, the site was nominated for the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. You can read more about it HERE. I’ve snapped some amazing photos despite the fact that it is absolutely FREEZING cold and even colder inside the building than out! I didn’t bring my tripod as I’ve just been traveling with a carry-on so have had to get a bit creative with lighting using my flash….. Tomorrow we head back for a few more hours of shooting… it’s supposed to be sunny at least but COLDER…… ewwwwwww…. How very interesting. OXOX M Such great photos! I particularly like the spool with silk wrapped around it. That spool of silk…
You are having fun, keep it up. OXOX M This reminds me of the ee cummings poem, “in just spring” where there is a red and yellow balloon man. It’s rather nice when a model solicits YOU to take their picture…. It’s even more wonderful when your camera starts to SING and you KNOW that you have captured some of those unequivocal “moments” where it all connects…..
Today was one of “those” days…… You can view a few more of todays pix on Tumblr.… if you are not a Facebook afficionado! Love the drama of both these photos. |

A change of pace from old abandoned buildings and back to a bit of creative post processing for a shoot that I did with Whitney Mears MUA and Meagan Hamilton..jpg)
Our aim was to check out a few of the old buildings in Lonaconing before heading to shoot the mill for a few more hours… we were not disappointed. Plenty of backwater grunge, trembling structures and timeworn paint….jpg)
Loved this old house… the coat hanger on the outside of the door a bit of a question mark…..and some early morning steam percolating off the top of the copper flashed roof as the sun came up…. lent lots of atmosphere…
joanne thieme huffman - sweet!
Chris - It’s great that they spend such quality time with you!
