Some site updates

The Skaters
Last night I decided to take some photos over at the high school next to our house. After a little while I heard some boys skateboarding in another area near the high school so I went over and asked them if I could take some pictures while they were skateboarding.

An experience I don’t have enough
Yesterday I had some free time in the afternoon so I decided to drive around out in the country and take some photos. There are few things I love more than being out in the middle of nowhere and feeling the quiet around me. I drove to Abington and found a road that I had…
