Ghost Town

Description

Eastern Washington is a good place to photograph deserted buildings. This was a church on the side of the road that seemed especially charming to me. In the darkroom I altered the focus to give it a more ambiguous feeling, and instead of just one 8x10, I have it on two sheets to give more options for presenting them. I like to display these prints in one frame with a dividing line in the center (a black mat looks really nice), but if you like you can also place them into one frame right next to each other (to give the look of one solid print, 10”x16”). Or simply put them into two separate frames. This piece reminds me of all the old westerns my dad used to watch, or a black and white movie about a ghost town.
