I've been continuing with my volunteer work on behalf of the Preservation League of NYS, to photograph their current Seven to Save list, the seven most-threatened historic properties in the state. The current list includes a couple of categories of buildings, including what are known as the Wells Barns. John T. Wells patented a truss system for barns in the 1880s that used tall pointed laminated arches to create wide-open interiors; in a break from traditional post and beam construction, Wells' system allowed farmers to drive their wagons directly into, and maneuver around in, the barns. The interiors really are amazing things to behold, and I had a hoot photographing a few of them the other week. Wells and his son built more than 200 of them throughout the state from the late 1880s until 1940, but fewer than 50 remain. Here's a sample, a small-ish jpg from a quick flatbed reference scan.

Nicely done, Steven.
Bruce, that's a fine shot. I love photographing in old barns.

Thanks, Peter. Those Wells Barns are amazing things--I've never seen any barns like them. It was a treat to be able to photograph a few of them.

I used Tmax 100, I do not know what developer as I sent this one out. I have another one I took that day with Tmax 100 and used Tmax Developer at 1:4 after washing the film till the water ran clear. I will try to get it processed and posted up this week.
