Hubble Trading Post - July

How I did it -

This image was taken while on an Airstream carivan in Arizona. The Hubble (Indian )Trading Post, a National Historic Site in Grando, Arizona, is the oldest existing trading post in the nation. This is an image of the room that indian blankets are bought and sold.


COMMENTS:

John Fatuzzo A well composed photo that shows a slice of history.
Jerry Greenfield Looking at this picture I was waiting for John Wayne to walk thru the door. GREAT PICTURE.
Peter Jeffer Interesting photo of a trading post not seen on the east coast. Lots of merchandise and clarity of each item is the beauty of this capture. First look was a very busy scene and hard to find a subject. But, the store is the subject… not any specific item. Interesting and well done.
Debbie Perez This looks surreal. There must be a lot of different light sources as the shadows exist at various angles. There are different levels to the lighting, as well. Overall I think it's a bright, happy picture!
Lynn Pilewski This almost strikes me as a painting or a movie set due to the HDR like characteristics. I love the mish mash of colors blending into a cohesive scene.
Margaret Schmidt Intriguing interior of an inviting shop I'd like to spend some time in. Pleasing color pallet. I think this scene is part of a larger story - it's the "big picture" that could be accompanied by detailed close-ups of specific items or small displays.

 

Howard Watts - Biography

My wife and I retired 7 years ago, and in the last 4 years we have been doing Airstream activities.  That is when I got interested in photography.  They have contests in local and international rallies.

I joined PSA last year and attended the conference in Portland, where my son lives.  We have signed up for PSA in September at West Yellowstone.

I am now using a Nikon D3 and Elements 6 for the computer.  I have entered 14 images in this year’s  contest which is this week.

We are active in our church, Wesley Methodist Church, in Greenville, Texas.  I am a member of the Dallas Camera Club.  I am a retired engineer, and a graduate of Texas Tech University.
