A blast from the past. Interesting story of 6 years ago. Anybody care to bring it up to date? Where's the photo now?
That is a little bit of a sore subject with me. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: A blast from the past. Interesting story of 6 years ago. Anybody care to bring it up to date? Where's the photo now? Image below from Jack Barnes - Image Title: photos IT TAKES A VILLAGE
When Ocean Pines Yacht Club manager Joe Rinehart first saw the eye-catching sunset photo taken by server Terra Rygh, he was impressed. Terra snapped the sunrise photo one morning from the deck of the Yacht Club with nothing more than her cell phone camera. Joe showed the photo to Carol Ludwig, former Executive Director of the Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce and now with Minuteman Press, who offered to enlarge the photo and mount it on a foam board. The photo then remained in the Yacht Club’s office. Anyone who has had a photo professionally framed realizes it is a costly project. Focus-On-The-Pines host, Jack Barnes happened to be at the Yacht Club’s Java Bay Café one morning enjoying a cup of coffee when Joe showed him the photo. Jack, similarly impressed, asked if he could take the photo and, with the help of a few friends, see about getting it framed so it could be displayed at the Yacht Club. Thus began a sequence of events. Well-known photographer and Ocean Pines Camera Club member Walt Schumacher matted the photo; Dick Stafford provided some striking solid walnut wood for the frame that he had rescued from a school demolition project; Leroy Lyons found some glass from an old frame in his garage, and Adkins Hardware cut it to size. Jack coordinated all the pieces, made the frame and completed the project. Total cost..$0. When all was said and done, eight individuals had a hand in bringing the “project” to completion. So the next time you visit the Java Bay Café, and are dispensing your coffee, take a moment to look on the wall to see this beautiful sunrise photo knowing that reaching this location really did “take a village”. Terra Rygh, now an Administrative Assistant at the Ocean Pines Association, is shown with her sunrise photo prior to it being displayed in Java Bay Café.

Terra Rygh, the young lady in the picture, a server at the old YC at the time, took the photo with her phone. It looks like a sunset but is actually a sunrise. I thought it was a great photo and offered to get it framed. A friend supplied the cherry wood, another made the mat, Adkins Hardware donated the glass and I made the frame from the cherry and completed the job. Thus the Village. 
The photo was presented to OPA which is why Terra is holding the photo for the article and it hung in the old Java Bay Café until the YC was torn down. I have seen OPA disregard personal items in the past [remember the model boat Marty rescued from the dumpster?] and personally spoke to the YC manager at the time telling him if the photo was not up to par for the new YC that was all right but just don't throw it away. I was assured it would be well taken care of. After the new YC opened the then YC manager thought it was stored in his office when I asked again. I should have pushed and said "show me" but took the word at the time. Subsequent managers said they would check and never followed through. There is a suspicion that it is stored in Public Works with some other items. Frankly, after seeing the new YC design, I lost interest in having the photo hang there anyway. Perhaps it will surface someday again in the future.
