The Winneshiek County Historical Society is in the old jail, along with the emergency management offices. Nobody was in the building so I roamed around until I saw these docket books in a storeroom. Upstairs the cells were full of old files, but I could only peek in through the spy holes. 500c/m, 60mm, Ilford FP4, f8, 16s.

Across the street from the old jail and courthouse were a couple of classic churches. Both welcomed my interest in their interiors and at the Congregational United Church of Christ the staff suggested climbing the ladder into the attic. I never would have thought of that! Apparently, the local theater group had shot promotional stills there for their production of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Great idea. 500c/m, 60mm, FP4 film.

This one especially is fantastic - the light pouring over the shoulder of the imagined figure seated there.

Those are great, John. You must have been thrilled to find that scene in the attic, wow.

It's a great place to find photos, although it's lost a lot of it's glamour over the years, in the same way a lot of British seaside resorts did when European package holidays became affordable. There's still a run down charm about the place though and, to be fair, the local council have spent a lot of money on the seafront area.



Really great tonality here. Excellent subject too.

Thank you. I've heard that Blackpool is a bit gritty, but I rather like gritty seaside towns, and there are plenty of them here in Oregon.

Thanks, Austin and Paul

Every now and then you get a shot that you're excited about all the way home to the darkroom. This was one of those rarities.

Inspirational shots John.

[John Olsen]

Thanks Tuco.

These shots are for Austin who has found several old schoolhouses out in Eastern WA. One-room schoolhouse near Brewer IA on Route 3. I went inside but the interior was too trashed to photograph. 500c/m, 60mm, FP4
