Goddard Mansion

Rather than posting yet another baseball picture of DS, which is all I shot today, I'm posting another one from last week. This is the Goddard Mansion, located in the same park as the Portland Head lighthouse. I think this would be a great location for a people shoot.I was lucky enough to find an old photo on the internet of it. What a treasure, huh? Isn't it amazing how close the composition is to my photo above?
Not really. I used this cool website: Age your photo It's in Japanese but pretty easy to figure out. Do any of you subscribe to Photojojo? That's where I got the link to the website.
And I totally stole this joke from Pioneer Woman.
