{from the art department}

Welcome Home...A self-taught photographer, I shoot both film & DSLR, primarily Nikon & Canon. In a pinch, for fun & spontaneity, I'll snap with my iPhone. I hope this trove of images will raise a few eyebrows, hang a hint of a smile and, perhaps, bring a tiny bit of the sea to your eyes as you discover, uncover and wander around freely. Remember, that this tiny, evolving universe, not unlike all living things, is a work in progress...Breathe deep. Come back often.

~ Colleton County’s Pon Pon Chapel Of Ease:

The Pon Pon Chapel of Ease, first erected in 1754, was burned in 1801 and came to be known locally as “the Burnt Church.”

In addition to its beauty and its age, the brick church is also historically significant because of the fact that John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, preached there twice in 1737.

Though not a whole lot remains of the church, there is enough to get an idea of how beautiful and elaborate it was. It’s hard to imagine that it has stood in that beautiful rural spot since well before the United States was even a country.

According to local accounts, the deterioration of the chapel’s ruins began when Hurricane Gracie toppled much of the church in 1959. On October 8, 2017 Hurricane Matthew caused additional damage. The largest section was then damaged in 2020, probably by vandals…
