Lone Barn
I was pretty excited about the way these turned out. There is a lot of 3 of these barns off Rt. 1 in RI. Good thing I finally decided to go shoot last month b/c they are now being torn down. I just love the vignetting that leads the viewers eye toward to yellow and red. Props to plastic toy camera's!
Created using my Diana with 4 year expired AGFA RSX II (ISO 200) slide film cross processed with C-41. This shot was taken July 2007. Negative scanned with an HP Scanjet 4890. No manipulation!
****UPDATE 8/15/2007****
The Barns have been bulldozed!!! Another RI landmark that can only be seen in photos!

Michael, I drove by the barns tonight and they are gone! I seem to have that effect on abandoned structures. Usually a few days or weeks after I go the place either gets knocked down or burns down! I better watch where I go!

Hey, at least you get there. Every time I drove past this barn near our house, I said to myself, "I need to come down here". Now it is gone, there's a Wal-mart 1/2 a block away, and I have nothing to show for it :( Awesome shot.

Too bad. Four weeks ago we had a fire take out one of the barns that I had visited and photographed many times! Carpe Diem!
