Six Years a Stranger

The Town of Lewisville, NC will celebrate its 25th year of incorporation on August 13, 2016.

Life Goes On

Nearly six years have passed since I published photos at LewisvillePhotos.com. During that time, our beloved Lewisville has seen new people and new businesses become part of the community. We’ve seen improvements regarding our streets — notably the addition of the roundabout at Williams and Shallowford Roads. We’ve seen attractive new buildings arise, and we’ve continued to enjoy a wide range of events at Shallowford Square.

A Reason to Return

Why am I back now, after having dropped off the radar for six years? I didn’t go anywhere. It’s just that life took one of those unexpected turns. Still, I have missed exploring the town and have missed meeting so many of you and sharing my photos and thoughts on LewisvillePhotos.com.

When I first heard that the Town of Lewisville would be celebrating its 25th year of incorporation on August 13, 2016, something in me stirred. How could I let such a big day in our community go by without covering it photographically? Then I saw the full-color brochure detailing the day’s activities, and I just knew I needed to be there.

    Most of the pictures (in mass circulation photography magazines) suggest embarrassing strain: odd angles, extreme lenses, and eccentric darkroom techniques reveal a struggle to substitute shock and technology for sight. How many photographers of importance, after all, have relied on telephoto lenses? Instead, their work is usually marked by an economy of means, an apparently everyday sort of relationship with their subject matter. —Robert Adams
