Highland, Kansas
Holga
Tmax 100
I posted another photo of this building a few months ago. It's called "Church Shed."
ooh -- also faaabulous, yes, both shot are!! -- but i think the Holga wins... there is just this exhilarating touch of inter-dimensionality here, some sort of unexplainable element, haunting, beautiful, enigmatic... gets me going! wonderful!!

@dj.tigersprout: thanks dj. i gotta remember that - 'exhilarating touch of inter-dimensionality.' i'm almost always at a loss for words, and they seem to trip off your tongue (or fingers)!
Superb Holga image, I love the feel of this, very emotive. Great work Grant!

Love the vignetting, really adds an extra dimension to it.

The simplicity of it is stunning. The natural vignetting of Holga cameras cannot be duplicated this beautifully:-)

The boarded up shed goes well with the vintage feel of th holga. It somehow is all about the past, the forgotten and the left behind. Very nice...

@ordinaryimages: well said jerry. that's exactly what it's like.
This is almost identical to one in my archives that I thought was a shed and then a guy emailed me and told me it had actually been the church house. It's in my NON DIGITAL category. Your image is gorgeous. I love white clapboard and the Holga:-)

@sherri: that's a great story, and i like that picture of yours. i'm thinking this might have been the original church...just a guess based on the shape of the windows.
I like the lonelyness and the vignette very much

A really good, Holga. A solid composition and nicely seen.

@Paul van der Meer: thanks paul. that's an interesting comment. it is important to me, although i can't claim to know much about it. i'm just glad that places that aren't grand still get saved sometimes.
Another wonderful Holga shot! It makes me want to give my Holga a second chance. :D

@Lucca: i hope you do. thanks for the comment lucca.
Nice shot Grant. Do you know what was it used for, a tool shed perhaps?

@Howard F.: thanks howard. i doubt it's a tool shed. the church it's next to isn't all that much bigger than this building. i'm guessing this is the original church.
Beautiful holga shot. I think that old shed has some history.

@Observing: thanks mike. i'm sure you're right. i wish i knew it.
Like the holga version. Really has such great depth to the image. Really nice.

Another neat shot, but here the Tmax is looking a little Tri-xey.
