Here is what I found this week.

Market Street, Oneonta

One evening I wasn’t even out looking for anything. Sometimes I sit and wait for the right light. And wait…. and wait…. and wait…. This time, my wife and I had gone out to dinner and were heading home. I came to a stop sign, and this street sat beneath a sky just one beat past sunset.

The Fenimore Farm and Country Village

This living history museum in Cooperstown is a great place to visit with a camera. Volunteers in period costumes run demonstrations. Their tools are old or faithful replicas and still get used. I can usually find something interesting that I haven’t photographed before. This time it included a barrel still holding together with wire, and what looks like an old mallet head.

Barn at sunset

And here’s another shot underscoring why I never leave home without my camera. We were out for a drive and found this sky behind one of my favorite old barns. This barn has character, having a more modern addition on one end, and the original stone foundation under the older section. I started on the newest end of the barn, trying to get the color of the late-day sky, and the silhouette of the rounded roofline.

On the older end, though, the light was hitting the barn. Weathered boards below, streaked clouds above.
