Back in 1994, my Mother and Brother went with some friends down to Florida on vacation. As they were packing to leave, I started a roll of film in my Argus C3 and then gave it to my Brother to take with them and get some shots of their trip. The very last shot on the roll got double exposed because my Brother wasn't real familiar with how a Brick works. But I thought this was interesting because the horse and buggy seems to be floating on water. I had to do a lot of cleaning up and post-processing to pull this shot out.

This is a 10-minute long timed exposure that shows star trails crossing over my back yard. The real bright trail is Jupiter. Not bad for a 70 year old camera! The dotted trail was an airplane that happened to cross right through the middle of my exposure.

This bell originally hung at the Ebenezer Methodist Church, which was built in 1838 and located about a mile from this Methodist church in town. When the old church was torn down in the early 1980s, they placed the bell here. I forgot and accidentally left the camera set on the "bulb" setting and the picture got over-exposed just a little.
