Sometimes you travel great distances chasing an image, and sometimes they are found close to home. This one is just about five miles down the road from me.

From our trip through Kansas back in 2005. I would have liked to see it in it’s day.

I was just about to start a new job when I shot this. I remember I was driving around this little town near coal country in Pennsylvania. I was going around the block to see about another building, when I saw these doors. I just had to shoot them with the 8×20.
To this day they are still one of my favorite images I’ve made with the 8×20.

I was traveling around Maine in the Fall of 2003. I remember following a road out to the end where there was this little fishing town, Georgetown, Maine.
It was clearing to our East, but we had clouds blocking the Sun behind us as I drove out to the town. I was pulling into the parking lot and the sky behind me started to clear and the light just lite up the scene.

This is Harrisonville, PA on US Route 30, in 2004. I past this location on my US Route 30 project but did not shoot this image then, I made it eight years later while traveling to Ohio to see an exhibit of Weston prints.
I can’t remember why I didn’t make this mage during the trip, bad light, rain or maybe the location was too busy at the time I was passing. Made me realize, if we look at scenes we have been to in the past with fresh eyes, we can see new images.
