Tim Wilkerson here is a local man I know. Quite the handyman of many household trades? He's also a guitar player in his spare time. As you can see? His personal favorite guitar player is Eddie Van Halen. When we hung out a few days ago? I asked him if he'd mind posing with his guitar for me,as I want to photograph more musicians. He happily agreed and even posed some. Enjoy!
Spent the rather cloudy Independence Day with one of my newest friends, a Mister Morgan Tennant of Calais,Maine. A Massachusetts native with a strong agricultural back-round, his goal is to open up a bed & breakfast in a ten room home he purchased in Maine. He was excellent company on the holiday and was kind enough to give me permission to take his portrait and post them here on my blog. In lieu of my uncertainty about the local fireworks presentation. Enjoy my latest portrait session in both color and black & white. Thank you!
This year's Bangor LGBT Pride Festival came one day exactly after the historical ruling in the US Supreme Court that same sax marriage was a fundamental right which could be upheld in all fifty states. While of course this posed controversy on some levels among the matter's detractors? It was personally triumphant within my own mind and heart. This years Bangor Pride promised to be larger in scope than previous Pride festivals-covering both Pickering and West Market Square in the city center.
While the crowd was among the largest Bangor Pride Festival has ever had since I've been attending it? It did seem to me as if the atmosphere among the people attending was rather subdued and quiet after such a monumental event had just occurred. Perhaps the more overt celebrations took place at the more private after parties. Wasn't there to know. Still the joy was present in more implicit ways. I saw more same sex couples proudly holding hands, as well as a more racially diverse crowd, than in any other local pride festival,for example. So enjoy these images from an historical Bangor Pride Festival!
