These four photos were taken in the cemetery at Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church in Georgetown, SC. The church was founded in 1720. The current structure was started in 1750. There are many tombstones so old the names and dates are no longer readable. Your comments are most welcome.

Larry:
The answer to your question is a big YES. During my tenure as a professor (and department chair) one professional interest became safety in the chemistry laboratory. Involvement with the American Chemical Society through the Committee on Chemical Safety and the Laboratory Safety Institute in MA, I had the opportunity to do safety presentations and lab inspections in the US and several countries in the world. The early pictures were 2x2 slides followed by transparencies to support the lectures. Then along came PowerPoint! That truly changed the art of the presentation. Many, many photos, mostly digital, have been taken over the years in laboratories to support these presentations. In the early 1980s I became friends with an editor of chemistry text books. As a result of that friendship, I have numerous chemistry related photos published in two editions of one of my favorite freshman chemistry texts. These and other photos were used in my lectures also. I could go on and on, photography has been a part of my private life and professional life for many years.

Having been a member since 2017, it is time that I introduce myself. The name is W. H. Jack Breazeale (Jack B). My home is in Mount Pleasant, SC across the Cooper River from Charleston. Given my age as 80, my interest in photography goes back many years. My background is chemistry having been a college professor from 1965 until retirement in 1997. My first camera was an Instamatic. My first serious camera was a Kodak MEDALIST II which I bought used and still have. The first 35mm camera was a Canon AE1 followed quickly by an A1. The A1 shot all my photos after its purchase until I purchased my first Canon digital: Canon T2i. Currently, the Canons are 70D and T6i. All are still in my collection. Also included are several bridge cameras which do get occasional use. The lenses for the Canons are several.
What really got me going in photography in the early 1970s was the availability of a small but fairly well equipped darkroom. My shooting was primarily slides using Ektachrome and Kodachrome. There was, of course, the usual color and b&w negative shooting for family photos. This was becoming costly if may photos were taken. With the availability of the darkroom, b&w films were the first to be developed with the printing of contact sheets. Many larger prints were made using the available enlarger. Next came the purchase of UniColor(?) chemicals for the development of Ektachrome slide film. Given the availability of 100 foot rolls of film and cheap cassettes, the slide collection is probably over 5000 most preserved in metal slide storage boxes. Many slides were printed using Kodak chemistry and the Cibachrome system. The slides and negative are currently being digitized using an Epson V600.
If you have read this far, please forgive me for being so wordy. And thank you for reading this far. In closing, my plan is to display both old and new photos on the UglyHedgehog web site. I look forward to any comments offered when this occurs.

Living across the Cooper River from Charleston, I know all of the above suggestion will keep you busy for a week. Enjoy your visit of a few days. That will just get you started on what is here. If you do cross the Cooper into Mount Pleasant, go to the Shem Creek area and that park. A good restaurant to try there is the Saltwater Cowboys. Their Shrimp and Grits and their fried shrimp are outstanding. Have a great visit!

These photos were taken several days ago. The park is located in Mount Pleasant, SC across the Cooper River from Charleston. The equipment was a Canon T6i on A-priority and 200 iso with a Tamron 28-75 mm lens. This is my first post so I hope it works. Of course, comments are welcome. The files were raw with little manipulation other than cropping.
1. Three brown pelicans on the rigging of a shrimper.
2. Taken of the upper end of part of the creek.
3. Laughing gull in flight with the black head associated with mating season.

Thanks! Played clarinet, alto clarinet, tenor sax, baritone sax and bassoon through elem school to high school. Baritone was my absolute favorite! If you have never listened to Gerry Mulligan on baritone try to find him. Absolutely beautiful.

It has long been a favorite of mine as are many other classical masterpieces. Just listened on my computer speakers which are just OK. Will find my copy on LP and play on my Bose/Yamaha system later. Am sure my wife will be calling me from down stairs to cut the volume down. Some of Bach's organ music continues to raise goose bumps on me! Depending on the mood, my tastes range from classical to blue grass. Thank goodness, at 80 my hearing is still just OK.

Having been there numerous times, the Whitewater Falls are located on SC /NC border not on the border with GA. Your photos are beautiful! Try a visit to the Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel and near by falls.
