I had the chance to get out and shoot some pictures for the book on Mansfield I’m working on. It was really bright, so the conditions were challenging to get good exposures, but I did get a few shots worthy of consideration for the project.

It’s always interesting going out with professional looking camera. The large lens tends to scare people. I was walking through what I guess would be considered the seedier side of Mansfield, replete with old cars, and dilapidated houses. As I entered an alleyway, I noticed a sound of a motorcycle engine. A man then proceeded to tail me down the alley, cutting in and out of yards and eventually cutting across the road in front of me. By this point I stopped taking pictures and picked up my pace. Oh, the pains of art!
