The Old Mill

Last Friday I had to work late, which left me some free time before work to take some pictures. I headed over to the Old Mill in North Little Rock, with the hope that there wouldn't be many other people there on a weekday. It wasn't that crowded, but there were quite a few other people there with cameras in hand.


The fall colors weren't all that great, and the light wasn't that great either. But I have a soft spot in my heart for the Old Mill, and it is always a good place to try to get pictures. It is so popular though that it is somewhat of a cliched place to get photos. Which reminds me of a story....in my senior year of high school, I joined the staff of the school literary magazine (which published photography). The faculty advisor had grown tired of seeing pictures of the Old Mill, since dozens of shots of it were always submitted to the magazine's photography contest. So she banned all pictures of the Old Mill from the magazine, and even set up a huge board in the magazine's office with hundreds of Old Mill pictures. It was sort of a Wall of Shame of Old Mill pictures. When I joined the staff, I looked at the board to see in my horror a few Old Mill pictures that I had submitted the previous year. But in my defense, they were good pictures!

And so here is one more shot of the great Old Mill...
