The "Exploring The Art of Photography" Photograph

It was an ordinary day.  And...once again, I have decided to share with you one of Lancaster's finest photographers' interesting and artistic photographs.  Suzette Wenger is one of Lancaster's best photographers who happens to work for the Lancaster Newspaper.  When I taught photography at Manheim Township High School, I often had Suzette visit to talk to my classes about her job at the Lancaster Newspaper as a Journalistic Photographer.  My students loved her talks, which led a few becoming professional photographers.  The Lancaster Newspaper has a weekly feature titled "Through The Viewfinder - Exploring The Art of Photography" which features a different photographer every week.  Recently, Suzette posted a black and white photograph of an Amish scooter resting on the side of a barn near Oxford, Pennsylvania.  She wrote that she had gained permission to take the photograph from the family after explaning who she was and how the photo would be used.  She continued by telling them that she remembered playing with a scooter very similar to this when she was a kid at her great-grandfather's house.  She recalled that it was a fun trek when you are a youngster.  But, as an adult, she is thankful to have a lot more horsepower under her hood.  As for her latest black & white photo, Suzette told readers that she appreciates the lines and the deep shadows in this image.  Perhaps the Amish enjoy taking their time to get where they are going, but I enjoy going a bit faster to all points of interest.  However, it still helps to be able to slow down enough so you can enjoy the view(finder).  Thanks Suzette for the fantastic work you do for my local LNP newspaper.  I appreciate all the wonderful photographs that you take.   The photography that appears every day in the paper is one reason I have a subscription to the LNP newspaper.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.  PS - My newspaper, which I used to copy this photo from,  had a slight sepia tone to it, thus the sepia in the photo.  But, it does give it a historical tone!
