I tend to have a preference for nostalgia and for imagery that provokes questions: "Where does that road lead? This actually feels cold, hot, lonely, etc." With each shot I personally associate the sounds, smells, feelings, temperature, etc. Not everyone can or will connect with a photograph in this way. That is the beauty of this medium and what makes each photographer different. My only advice about photography is "Be in love with what you see." All images Copyright Bowman Gray 2018

Nature vs. pop culture
Somebody enjoyed a cold Coke out of the old 6.5oz bottle on some hot summer day working on the farm here in NC and placed the empty bottle on a branch with the intention of coming back for it later only to forget. I am guessing maybe fifteen years ago possibly more. The tree has simply enveloped the bottle, trust me, it's not coming out.
Anyway, I have developed an interest in various things left behind either intentionally or not as subject matter for my photography. See my previous post surrounding the old sail boat. I think all of these things have a story to tell regarding how they came to be there. I will post more of these things as I find interesting subjects.

What a great picture. I also love the concept of things left behind and being a writer about 5 ideas popped into my head when I saw this.
I would recommend a book of short stories by Jim Tomlinson called Things Kept, Things Left Behind.
I really enjoy your posts.
Thanks Patti. I have been thinking of putting together my own book. I know its not a new concept, but certainly I find it engaging. I will get a copy of Jim's book.
