REFLECTIONS...through the eyes of a classmate

Looking southwest from Blue Ridge Parkway into the Great Valley from above Buena Vista VA, October 21, 2020. This is a view I return to year after year, decade after decade. No matter how colorful the foreground, the receding further ridges always end up in shades of blue...

Maple tree on Nelson Street, Lexington VA, October 10, 2020. This tree is across the lawn from my old frat house, right next to the viaduct carrying U.S. Route 60 through downtown. I shot it from the sidewalk on that viaduct, which put me much closer to the top of the tree than the bottom.

Reflections in Maury River, Goshen Pass VA, October 11, 2009. One of my earliest digital successes. Making the transition from film took, altogether, about 10 years, with much gnashing of teeth, but I must admit I do not miss the darkroom, even if I spend more time than I would like at the computer.

Pat Hinely has shared some of his images and reflections from photo-forays or in the course of doing other work, either (until 2018) for Washington and Lee University, or (since its founding in 1992) for the award-winning local monthly news publication The Rockbridge Advocate, which, as of this writing, remains his primary ongoing outlet.
