Humor – Page 2 – Bill Swartwout Photography

Being an old ager provides some extra time to try new things.

I figured, in addition to home gardening, I might enjoy learning to cook. I decided to start with breakfast because that is, as we all know, the most important meal of the day.

The only problem is I mixed up my cookbook with my thesaurus…

…and ended up making synonym rolls.

You can never be negative.

Sorry – just saw that, and being a photographer since the old film and flashbulb days, I just had to pass it along. Just chalk it up to my “Dad Joke” style of humor.

While it is true I saw thousands of negative in my earlier days I was never negative about photography. I cannot think of anything really negative about the endeavor.

What’s not to like? My “office” or studio can be anywhere I choose for it to be. While the above setting was on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland, it could be on a beach anywhere. It has. I get to visit beaches along the east coast of the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as the beaches of about 20 different Caribbean, Central American and South American nations. My “office” could even be on a mountaintop capturing scenic vistas of more rugged and (also) picturesque areas.

Many years ago I used photography to help work my way through college. I shot weddings, did aerial photography (also learned to fly a plane) and worked in a small town camera shop. I “learned the trade” so to speak and even helped teach some of what I learned to other people. I still love to share what I capture through the lens and even earn a few bucks by offering some of that through one of my online stores/galleries.

photographing on drifwood beach, jekyll island, georgia — Here I am photographing one of the most fascinating of places – Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

I am fortunate with my photography in that I am able to shoot is some truly fascinating places. I love bridge architecture and I love Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island and on and on. I am now adding another element to my photography exploits – drone photography. This will allow me to add an additional perspective to scenes that I shoot. It is also fun.

What’s that old saying? Oh yeah: Do what you love and love what you do. I do, I did and will keep on doing as long as I am able.
