The state of Arizona is going to be demolishing my old elementary school in July, because a new school was built. With all of the changes in the areas I grew up I have noticed places that meant something to me are disappearing or being changed. I had a unique childhood and I want to document these places for myself and my son. Plus the farm my mother grew up on will likely be sold this summer as it is causing rifts in the family. The original homesite will be sold first so not only is it getting sold it is getting split up.

Here is the question. I plan to use the Camera I have, a kodak 5x7 2d. A 210 Lens and two shutterless lenses; one 150mm and the other 300mm. Inside, the shutterless lenses might work fine (I've never tried it)but outside I cannot seem to slip a box or hand over the lens quickly enough so my negs get over exposed, and I am not happy with that. Assuming I can swing a 150mm in a shutter would this be a good lens with my camera to shoot long interior hallways, the insides of barns, and the outsides of buildings, or is a wider lens a better choice? I guess I want the perspective of these places as I remember them. Now they are not so big but when I was growing up that school hallway was really damn long, especially when I got sent to the principal's office.
