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

Reynolda Gardens
I mentioned in my previous post about Reynolda Village, that I would take some pictures*** in the Gardens. If you are looking for a good place to decompress, this is it.
My Garden
By Emily Dickinson
New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.
New children play upon the green,
New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!
***I need to mention that I had to get special permission to take these and was only able to acquire it due to the fact that I am a tenant and I was taking pictures to be used in an ad - this opportunity is not open to everyone, although ignored by some, photography in the gardens is generally prohibited for commercial use***.
If you do decide to visit, please stop by my wife's new shop Karen Gray Design.
