This picture was taken around 1975 on a trip to visit my aunt and uncle in North Carolina. I found this old house in a field near their house. ( See here for a picture of the exterior.) The broken chair reminds me of the ladder-back chairs in my grandparent's house which may be why I took the picture. That, and the empty expanse of unpainted wall sheltering a forgotten history.
This week, for a change, we are going to be looking at black and white photos from the "archive." Although I do sometimes convert digital photos to black and white, the pictures for this week were all shot on film. This one was shot on Kodak Plus-X.
I can hear the creaking of the floor and smell the dry rotting wood. Well done Edd.
ReplyDeleteI love B&W photos, but there is something about B&W film images that digital photos cannot duplicate. This is a great example of that. Love this image and the outside view as well... :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Glenn, and I couldn't agree more that there is something about the look of film in black and white that digital cannot match. I would never go back to shooting color film, but when I want to work in B&W, I get out the film cameras.
ReplyDeleteHave to admit though, that after spending nearly an hour spotting this negative, digital does have its attractions.
