    Red barn

      My husband grew up on a farm (with no running water) and he commented on what a beautiful barn this was. Nice symmetry with unpainted fence adding contrast.

    Symmetry

    Almost symmetry

    Pioneer Church

    Train on curved track. Heavily processed.

    I also made some of my photos sepia! It made them look more old timey.
    Foot pedal letterpress in action. One sheet fed at a time by hand.
    The linotype machine in the background is shut off until next summer. It uses molten lead to cast type one line at a time, an advancement over the previous method of hand setting each preformed letter one by one.

      Really like this image Frankie. Man and Machine in an early 1900’s office setting. You have perfectly caught the action with the blurry aspect of the leg pushing the lever. I like the sepia look which gives it a sense of authenticity.

    Train closeup. The steam whistle has just blown. On the right, I’ve always liked the way the background goes wavy when heat rises.

    Reminds me of a camp song: My old flivver is a good old friend . . .

      Wow, this shot captures the early 1900’s! Great elements of three, car, train and water tower. Love the sepia look.

      • Frankie says:

        Thanks! For this one and the goat one it was a challenge to get shots with no modern day people spoiling the effect.

    A train has derailed and set a building on fire. Multiple emergency vehicles respond with flashing lights. Meanwhile, the bullet train speeds by.

    Just out walking my pet goat.

    Spotted in the wild, the Intrepid Canadian Photographer!
    ISO 400, 400 mm, f/9, 1/640 s

    Beauty shot. The sailboat races have moved from Wednesday night to their fall schedule, Saturday morning. Not much wind this day! I’m going to have to explore to see if I can get the boats with the mountains in the background without having to pay Heritage Park admission.
