Do we ever really need a "purpose" for photos, Tom?
They are a window onto the world ... and I happened to be in the Richmond part of the world last week ... old stomping grounds ... and took photos that I am now sharing.
I love the old Richmond and the new Richmond. Who knows what photos will show up next!
I grew up in and around Richmond and don't share the fondness for the place others who haven't seen it change in the last 50 years. Homosexual and liberal heaven with a large serving of murder, crime and corruption.
You certainly have a good eye for photography, I guess I just know too much about the place and the people in it.
Sorry about my negative view of the place.
I prefer your part the state so much more, don't know why you would want to come down here and slum.
I know the dark side of Richmond, too, but prefer to see the beautiful areas and the architecture of new and old buildings.
I love the Capitol and that area ... I miss Miller & Rhoads and Thalhimers. I spend my young adult years working in Capitol Square.
Richmond at Christmas can be enchanting ... Richmond in summer can be a beast with all that heat and humidity.
Thanks for the nice comment about my photography. If I see something that looks interesting, I take a picture and often share it on my blog.
I prefer where I live in the Valley, too ... but I haven't forgotten the area where I grew up. I have no plans to move back to Richmond ... I love living in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. :)
Watch for autumn photos to start showing up soon ... we are getting close to leaf season....
Hello Lynn,
