CHECKING IN

I thought I’d take a drive a few weeks back and check on an old house that is starting to feel its age and neglect.

The first time I was at this house (I’ve gone many times) she had a bit of a lean but she was standing up pretty straight considering. I seriously contemplated going inside but didn’t because I could see just about everything from the windows.

Over the years I have considered taking grad photos at this house but I never have. Maybe I will take the 2025 grads over here for a few shots and see what I get. Or maybe this house will be gone by then.

I’ll keep checking in periodically to see how she is making out.

FORD MONARCH TURNED CHICKEN BROODER

Before Christmas I headed back to a property I had visited many years ago to photograph this old car.

When I called the land owner to get permission to head over there again, he told me he had no idea about an old car out there. He asked me if I could send him a couple photos of the house as it has been some time since he’s been to the property.

In late January I received a note back from him and he told me that this old car was used as a “chicken brooder” and he wasn’t sure if it had been used for transportation.
