    The south in the fall, cotton fields in snowy glory at sunset

    A cotton field is set against a vibrant sunset sky with scattered clouds.

    This is a pickup truck beside a tobacco barn off of Peachtree Rd. in Harnett County, NC. I don’t know who it belongs to or who they are voting for or how they feel about Gaza or FEMA. It just looks cool, so I took this picture. I hope you like it.

    📝 The Joy of Tacos - When you’re feeling blue, get some tacos. You may still be sad, but at least you got some tacos - louplummer.lol/the-joy-o…

    Some of the finest seafood in the world is prepared in this little community on the NC/SC border near the Atlantic Ocean called Calabash. Enjoy the sunset from an early fall evening.

    Castlewellan Forest Park, Northern Ireland - somehow the rainy and overcast day made it look even better!

    I ask strangers if I can take photos of their dogs. They always let me. Not only is this pooch beautiful, she’s also smarter than the Republican candidate for president of the United States.

    I found this old Oliver model tractor on River Road deep into Bladen County North Carolina.

    Big Hump Mountain in the Roan Highlands along the NC/TN border on the Appalachian Trail. I crossed it on a cold September morning with wind blowing so hard I could barely stand up. #photography.

    The 101st Stranger - I found a long-lost photo today from when I was working on my 100 Strangers project. This is Steve, a street guy whom I gave $2 and made him promise not to spend it on food.

    This Japanese Maple was only a couple of feet tall when my grandmother died. It was in her yard. My grandfather dug it up & gave it to me. Twenty-nine years later it greets me every time I walk out my front door. I love it.

    The Story Behind My 100 Strangers Project

    The Story Behind My 100 Strangers Project - Over 100 days I published a collection of street portraits taken in six different cities where I interviewed each subject. - louplummer.lol/100-stran… #Blaugust2024

    From my 100 Strangers Project - for the last time. John, watching his friend lose to a Budweiser drinking chess hustler on the Raleigh sidewalk was the final subject in my project. I’ll be posting a link to a gallery of all 100 portraits later on today. Thanks for all your feedback.

    Two men, sitting across from each other, are intensely playing chess outdoors. A third man is standing and watching them. The backdrop includes urban street elements and the Waverly F. Akins Wake County Office Building sign.

    From My 100 Strangers Project - Ricardo and his five-year old twins (yes, there are two of them in the photo) were downtown on a rainy winter afternoon looking for some hot chocolate at the local coffee shop. Sounded like a good idea to me, so I joined them.

    From my 100 Strangers project - Mike said he was on the way back to his downtown office after a 30-mile ride out in the country.

    A cyclist with a beard smiles while wearing a helmet and sunglasses, situated outdoors near a street with cars in the background.

    From my 100 Strangers project - Elise was selling art, mostly pencil drawings and watercolors, at a street fair in Raleigh. She said businesses had been pretty good, but she was hot and tired and ready to go home.
