Lights in the Old
Farmhouse (so far
behind!)'s photostream
|
I'm an Iowa native, who grew up in St. Louis and Dallas, now happily replanted in the Midwest. I discovered the community side of flickr in April 2010 and have been blessed by the wonderful work of some great photographers who share their passions here. A sincere thank you to my flickr pals - I truly appreciate your help and encouragement. I have learned so much from you!
I try to be a good flickr friend and view and comment on as many of my contacts' photos as I can. Still, I can't keep up! So many great photographers and shots . . . but so little time! I have to try and keep my contact list from getting too huge. If you make me a contact and I don't reciprocate, I hope you'll understand. : )
Most of my photos taken since September 2010 were shot with a Canon 50D. I love this camera!! Earlier pictures came from my Sony Alpha DSLR-A100, or my trustly little pocket-sized point and shoot, Sony DHC-H20. I still occasionally use both of those cameras.

"Just when I think I've been fully amazed by something Shari has posted, she does it again, and again, and again! Shari has "that photogenic eye", she knows the look she's going for and knows how to achieve it. Her railroad and landscape shots are fantastic. Keep up the good work!"

David Sebben says:
"Shari is capturing through the camera's lens bits and pieces of Americana that are quickly slipping away. Small town wonderment and good old American pride in industry, farming, and railroading. No high brow shots, but images we all understand and appreciate like she does. Simple, yet poignant, a Grant Wood with a digital camera. She has inspired many of us to see things in a different light, and to that end, we thank her. Keep going Shari, the horizons are limitless."

"Shari and Her Photostream are a National, not just a Regional treasure. Her tireless work chronicles the spirit and soul of the Midwest. Alas, it also documents it's disappearance. The disappearance of a simpler and more honest time. We all owe her a debt of gratitude for using her Artistic vision and love of the Midwest to document the regions beauty and honest simplicity. Simple complexity. Hows that for a Photography assignment. But Shari does it effortlessly with a keen eye for detail and an ability to see behind the obvious. We all thank you."

"Shari is new to me here, a fellow Hawkeye. Sorry I didn't find her sooner with her sense of Ooh and Ahh and Wonder at our little bit of Midwestern Americana. She has an excellent sense of style and composition and the enviable knack of locating just the right thing to illustrate what we are so quickly losing in this country, a sense of place and time and community. Shari's documentation of that fleeting time, when neighbors knew each other, folks waved at passing cars, at least provides a nostalgic touchstone of times long past and days long lost."
