Ghosts


Admittedly, you have to look kind of close to see this one... it didn't really work, but when I arrive way too early at the lake, I'm pretty much the only thing there is to take pictures of... 
I came across a portfolio in a magazine once, the photographer had titled it "Ghosts of Auschwitz."  The pictures were all taken around the concentration camp, but all of them showed people moving in and out of buildings, along the walls... everywhere... but they were ghosts like myself in this picture. It was a cool bunch of pictures, so I thought I'd give it a try, I need some work... :)  But I like this picture, I seem unsure of myself, like I'm not sure how to get to where I want to go... which is pretty much exactly right...:)

This was a fun one to shoot, it turned out cool, because I had to run over after i took the picture. I wasn't still long enough to show up running, but i showed up once i stopped, along with the background the camera had already seen... I like it because it doesn't quite make sense, why would some crazy go out to a frozen pier to play his trumpet?  well, either he's a crazy photographer, or he's a loony music major... ;) 
(This one's not a music major, in fact, I didn't make any noise on my trumpet for fear of the ice breaking and swallowing my camera... :) )
