HABS/HAER Photography guidelines

It seems the link to my original 5x7 negative photo of Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village is offline/lost... here are some other donations

... The Frank Lloyd Wright Ennis House in Los Angeles.

... Bixby Bridge, Near Big Sur, California

... The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building in San Francisco. (Technically donated by the developer of the project to Historic American Buildings Survey)

I still try to donate the photography of one overlooked historic site each year. So far I have recorded the Ennis House, Bixby Bridge on Highway 1 near Big Sur, and the Sea Shadow before it was unceremoniously scrapped this month. It's a good way to use large format and give something back. And the team at the National Park Service, Heritage Documentations Programs, HABS / HAER / HALS are always thrilled to get a donation to the collection.

Appropriately so. Much better than cluttering up the archive with a duplicate thread on the same topic.

I photographed Bottle Village when grandma Prisbrey was still alive when I went to Simi High School and then several years later when I worked for the Simi Valley Enterprise ( now the Star ).

The second assignment after she passed away was pretty cool, light painting and all...

After 19 years, I moved away from So Cal in 94 and never looked back. The pollution, rampant development, the lack of seasons, the materialistic attitudes and finally the busted knee cap after flying up 5 feet in the air and hitting the bedroom wall at 4:31AM during the quake made it real easy to leave....I would have died of stress and depression years ago had I stayed...
