Another fireworks version. This one is at the start without so much smoke and pretty much matches the same time and pattern of the color version I took on my 500C/M.

Two images of a food truck in Madison, N.J. that I made yesterday around 7PM. I needed to wait until the day's absurd temperatures dropped, and that the cleaning store in whose lot the food truck is parked was empty (I wasn't sure if they would be happy with someone using unusual-to-them equipment in their lot.) Not sure if food trucks by themselves are Americana, but since this one has a wooden American Flag in the window, that sealed it for me. Both are straight scans from HP5+ 4x5 negatives developed in Pyrocat; I think I like these enough to make real darkroom prints, I need to live with the deskjet prints from the scans for a couple of days to be sure.

Thats got a surreal quality to it, makes you think the upper section is lifting off for parts unknown.
Flying saucers are real.

Here are a few I shot in the mid 70’s. These were with my first 1930’s bearer 8x10 Deardorff and triple convertible B&L Protar. Wish I’d kept the Protar. Most likely the film and developer were TXP and HC110. The interior was with my 5x7 Sinar Norma with a 121 Super Angelina and Royal Pan film. Most likely developed in HC110B.
Too many years have passed to remember the details.
I live just fifteen minutes from the store with the people in the shot. It’s at a Y where two county roads join. Sadly it’s been closed for decades but recently the owner has made repairs to stop the earth from taking it.
The Cruso Trading Post was / is on Hwy 25 in Cruso NC. My friends and I discovered it while on a quest for a fish dinner in Brevard NC when we were in college in the 60’s. I didn’t have a camera with me at the time but some 7 or 8 years later I took a day trip and found it. It appeared just as I remembered it.
When speaking with a friend from that area he told me it was aBrandon in the 1930’s and had been I disturbed for forty years. I made 3 trips back with my Deardorff and on my 3 trip someone had discovered it and everything was gone but the building.
I’m pulling these from my phone so they’re most likely pretty small, sorry.
