Father Pitt usually thinks of the photograph as the raw material for a picture, meaning that the photograph will go through a good bit of adjustment before he publishes it. But every once in a while, he challenges himself to publish pictures directly from the camera. On this expedition, he also focused all the pictures manually, just to see how good the Fujifilm FinePix HS10 was at manual focusing. Pretty good.











Ginkgo biloba is a tree often planted for its beautiful form and its resistance to the thousand natural shocks that trees are heir to in the city. In the fall, its leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow, and then within a very short time they all fall and carpet the ground with gold. These trees were just beginning to push the eject button in the South Side Cemetery in Carrick.









Fallen golden leaves of Ozark Witch Hazel (Hamamelis vernalis), with plenty still on the bush.
