I have decided to begin a series depicting my home town; home town being the town that I grew up in, and will very very soon be moving away from. This series depicts Saint Albans as I recall it...from my early days to now...not necessarily as anyone else recalls it. Places that hold a special meaning or connection to a certain memory, objects that remind me of life here, anything that makes this the place I grew up...where my life began.

I've decided to call this series First Beginnings, as we have many beginnings in our life, but this place was and will always be my first. I haven't decided how many pieces I will create of it...not many probably...there isn't much to this town I don't really expect anyone to see much in these pictures, as they stem from a more personal level than a globally artistic level. Then again...it's my best pieces that never get any comments anyways, so it doesn't matter much to me either way. But, I still hope you can enjoy these pieces with me

A Sore Sight for Sore Eyes:

Do you remember that place, be it a building, a landmark, or a tall tower that was always the first thing you remember seeing as a child that told you that you were almost home, when you had been out of town for a while? Well here's mine. These two towering structures were always the first thing I remember seeing as a child coming back from vacations. In one way it was a saddening sight, to know that it meant the vacation was officially over, but in other ways it was always a comfort, to know that I was almost home again...where my friends, and the world as I knew it was. A familiar sight, from an unfamiliar angle. I hope that you will enjoy this piece

Full view is always appreciated!
