Big Timber Creek

Posted on June 25, 2015 by Joe_Williams

Back in the 1980s, I went to art school, and I along with all of the other illustration majors were required to take a minor course in photography. We had to shoot the photos as well as process the negatives … Continue reading →

Majestic Nature

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Joe_Williams

John Capewell had traveled up to Niagara Falls a number of times in a number of seasons, and he usually had his camera in tow. I’ve never been to the falls myself, but I’m guessing that this is in that … Continue reading →

A River or a Creek

Posted on July 17, 2014 by Joe_Williams

Here’s a photograph by John Capewell featuring either a river or a creek. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it’s the Big Timber Creek being that the Capewell family resided in Westville, New Jersey, but I’m … Continue reading →
