Since mega-storm ‘Sandy’ is bearing down on the northeast and the possibility of power outages seems pretty certain.. to get my mind off the impending ‘perfect storm’ I thought I’d busy myself with another ‘snippets’ post. This is the second year in a row a Halloween mega-storm is coming to wreck havoc… last year however it was 14+ inches of snow. CLICK HERE
Black and white pictures can often dramatically change the look of places… I like the way shadows play across the face of black and white photographs. That being said, let’s see if Vineyard snippets are harder to recognize when they’re not in color!
