For whatever reason I have not done a very good job documenting the area I live in "photographically" and have decided that this summer I am going to change that.
So this past weekend I picked my first victim and headed off to photograph the town next door, Old Orchard Beach (Maine).
The population explodes between May and September as Old Orchard Beach is most definitely a tourist town, it has a kinda "carny" town feel to it with all the rides, games, and pier, it also has some of the nicest beaches in Maine.
Here are some images that represent a typical Saturday night in OOB.
Click on any image to view larger, especially the one of Elvis!
Lots of rides...
And you can't throw a rock six feet in any direction without hitting a pizza place....
The best part of Saturday night is that I can now say, "I SAW ELVIS!"
Yes, despite those occasional potholes and bumps in the road, life is very good.
Now your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to go someplace close to you, that you may have been to a bazillion times but never really photographed and do just that, capture it like you wanted to tell a story. Then (please) upload an image of two to our Flickr group.
If you are not already part of our Flickr group we would love for you to join us, you can get all the details on how to join right here.
