Down south

Day 3,

I awoked to a very chilly day 22 with wind like a Hurricane. I traveled back to the cementry and took a few more photo's before heading back. Even as cold as it was and with the wind blowing like crazy it didn't bother the souls at play. Their whispers even more bone chilling as before but still warm and inviting as always. They understood that I've been on a journey and said go home you'll be back soon enough.
I packed up and drove home a place that I all know so well back to my friends and the one that I love the most. I travelled with my thoughts of the trip and with the knowledge of what I learned of my self. A long drive home to think but not of the roadside memoriales but of life and where it's going in what direction and what do I do to get on track? With the world the shape it's in and the worry of job, money and love how hard it is. My travels this trip took me to places of the past and of history and to places of the dead. I'm looking for the future the present the now. I found what I think is the answer by going to the past and let these places speak to me through my camera lens through what I consider an artistic eye capturing something hard to explain to others but laid clear with the images I captured.
I hope that you like the photo's that I've shared and understand my rambling of writting personal and private thoughts on self discovery to be inspired to find meaning in my life to create a body of work that is soul capturing one that looks you back in the eyes and moves you. One that whispers in your ear listen, listen and listen to the ones that has walked the roads you travel learn from them. I understand......
Until next trip and I promise it won't be as crazy as this one has been(but it's been good for me) Hope you've enjoyed.

Day 2,

Well, another day of self discovery down and what a day it was! The way down from Charleston was very interesting. There were run down stores to burnt down Churches from yesteryear. Photo ops. around every twisted turn. Being the coolest of them is the Old Sheldon Church built and burnt twice she still stands in all her glory never dying standing as a soldier of time. I spent an hour or so there and always fun to shoot and to watch the shadows move across it's bones making every angle a diffrent shot.

I entered Savannah around 11:30 checked in and headed back out to what I call..... I'll let ya'll come up with your name. Bonaventra Cemetery located just a few miles from downtown and over looking the Savannah river. It's one of my top 10 list on favorite places. The The statues and monuments with the spanish moss haning from the trees is something to see!!. Inspiration and creativity was everywhere and I took full advantage of it. I shoot for about 3 hours and heading back in the morning for more.
When I'm here in Savannah it's almost like they whisper in my ear asking me to come and play. The angles. the children the trees with there mighty limbs that reach down to the ground. When I'm there I'm so full of life in a place most would say how your surounded by the dead. If listen you can hear them talking between them selves and when the wind blows the children are running and jumping around as they were still alive as nothing ever changed for them. I found what I was looking for today an inspiration and the will to jump my motavation and the confidence that with both of these in hand that I can make something good happen. [
Maybe one of the Angels wispered something in my ear today or maybe the whole trip is getting put together now and I can understand what it all means. I don't talk to dead people and I'm not to crazy just enough to keep me sane. I invite anyone to travel the road that I've been on for self discovery allthough some I know walk with me hand in hand and I'm thankful for that. The weather is great nice blue skies and cool with a breeze just enough to blow through the trees and spanish moss to make them whisper to you. If you every find your self here in Savvanah at Bonaventra Cemetery listen, listen and listen and if your lucky enough you to will hear the whispers the children running and the trees laughing as they whatch over them protecting them has soldiers. Until next time siging off!!

Day 1,

I started on a journey of self discovery this morning and found that I wasn't alone! I pulled on to the interstate leaving Salisbury leaving friends and a dog and the one I love the most behind looking for something. I traveled down the road speeding to get to a destination that I all know so well. But I found my self today slowing down slower and slower to realize that I wasn't the only one that's been on this road this wondering road. I spotted the first person just outside Columbia there on the side of the road in a spot they will never leave, it was a roadside memoriale. I drove futher down thinking of why that person was there for was he or she looking for something who did they leave behind? I drove futher and there were more and soon I was taking mental notes of them. Some were big with lots of ribbions and bows and some small and almost unnoticable but they were their none the lest. The road to what is nicknamed the "Holly City or the City of Stepples" was laid with memorries of others. I guess it's fate to why they are there and is it fate or faith we are who we are and where we are?
I've seen today that the roads we travel in life have been traveled many times before we thought about stepping on to it. As many times that I've driven this road and thought of it as a just a means of getting from one place to another I've seen that is what it is. A road a road of souls looking to find something, going from one place to another. For what they was looking for is for them to know and that maybe the ones of us that aren't just driving to get from one place to another will hear their cries saying fate or faith has brought you down this road so listen, listen and listen...... Then there's tommrow until then signing off.

Hello everyone,

Well, it's packing time. My clothes packed, camera gear packed waiting on morning which is'nt getting here fast enough. This being my first bloging road trip and not being much of a writer don't mind my grammar to much. Just some thoughts if your wondering about why I'm going for is to explore some inner soul searching and creativty that I have been bottleling up for some time and it's time to pop the cork! I'm starting in Charelston and heading on down to Savannah and some places along the way. The Elliot House will be the B&B that I'll be staying at first, can't pass up the sweet deal they are offering right now. Well, until Monday evening and I will have photo's posted to help explain the trip maybe a little. Signing off.
