Lights! Camera! Whatnot!

More lighthouse action. Above - Point Lookout, MD - 1999.

There's something irresistible about short, pudgy lighthouses. This is Piney Point, MD in 1999, complete with creepy fake plastic keeper looking out the cupola.

Long lens, weird light and weirder developing all conspire to make this print less than ideal, but for what it's worth, here's Spring Point Ledge Light in Portland, ME in 1998.

It's a pretty rare thing to have an opportunity to photograph one lighthouse from atop another lighthouse. That's what's happening in the shot above. This is New Cape Henry Light, shot from the top of Old Cape Henry Light, at Fort Story, VA in 1999.

Here is what happens when a lighthouse is subjected to war and neglect. This is Cockspur Island Light in Georgia, and it needs some work in this 1999 shot.

In the "difficult to find and not in the best of neighborhoods" category, this is Lazaetto Point Light in Baltimore, MD - 1999. [Maris]'s shot!

From the "reachable only by boat" category, here is Smith Point Light in Virginia's Chesapeake Bay waters. It's a little difficult for me to believe this was taken in 1999; it feels like yesterday.

Okay, gang. Gang? Hello? Anyone out there? Oh well. Anyway - back soon (after some more scanning) with Key West and beyond. Thanks for visiting!
