This is a tough call. A really tough call. And personally, I want this to work. But I’ve been burned before. I was burned in 2005, when the first big-budget Fantastic Four movie hit theaters. This was going to be the big one. This was going to take the greatest superhero family from the comic…
Read MoreCan I get a Buena Vista Panorama in Woodstock, Vermont?
Last month, I traveled to Vermont to photograph the Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock.
