I posted about one of our native trees today. I am joining Friday Shoot Out tomorrow and wanted to introduce myself and visit your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909970168634043079.post-38707226998249934102009-04-30T08:20:00.000-07:002009-04-30T08:20:00.000-07:00I once met a man at a Airstream convention in the ...I once met a man at a Airstream convention in the Adirondacks (I was on assignment with another photographer, shooting the convention for a magazine). He was from New Jersey.<br /><br />Every time I think of New Jersey, I think of that man. He was an older man (this was in the mid-eighties), and he drove this old perfectly maintained Airstream (I think it was a Bambi), and he pulled it with an equally old and equally maintained car.<br /><br />He was actually the first person I had every met from New Jersey, and he explained to me that he lived in the "pretty part" of Jersey, where there were beautiful trees, and he assured me that New Jersey had some beautiful places.<br /><br />His wife was with him and she told me how much he loved old things, and that everything he had was old, and in perfect condition.<br /><br />I think about that man every time I meet someone from New Jersey, and I wonder if he is still alive. <br /><br />Your trees really reminded of him.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.com
