Rennrocky, I can relate to the fascination of the  chaos of this kind of a run down and neglected place--the photo of the place no doubt is a fine and well executed  example of "Ruinism"  about which Rog told us some hundred pages earlier...

M-A APO 50 & Macro-Elmar-M ADOX Color Implosion

In an antique store 53 years ago, I bought this original photograph of John H. Malona and his wife, Melvina. Their names were written in pencil on the back, a very well-schooled cursive. I asked my wife to run an Ancestry.com search, and she found that they married in 1858, but John died in 1862. My wife also located a descendant, and I offered to send him the original photograph, evidence of a moment in his family’s history 161 years ago, but he thought the digital he could add to the family tree online was sufficient.  I was elated to know the history, that this was a photograph of the record of a brief marriage and was no doubt in the hands of John and Melvina.

For this construct, I wanted to use Josef Albers’s image layering, like lapse dissolves in cinema used to give a sense of time passing. I started with the marriage photograph, then reshot it out of focus as a note of John passing and leaving Melvina. I included my 19th-century wood letterpress type because everyone needs at least one alphabet. There is always that orchestration of text and image, but forgive me, I’ve left out the orchestra itself.

Rog, a very impressive and thoughtful work , this construction.  And what a pity the descendant didn't recognize the value of the original photo and your effort.... Anyway, these photos and your work remind us that we are links in a long chain and not just rabbits passing on the genes...

 Good photo and interesting lighting. Was this the "Judas" in the performance of the "Easter Story" ? 😀

Great colors and very thoughtful use of the wide angle...   I think I went a few miles with that train some years ago with my kids. Good fun !

Very thoughtful, and a fascinating story. Like it; the picture as such is already intriguing, but the history of how it came about gives an extra layer of depth.

Very impressive tonality.   Thank you for sharing the information on the development of XP2 in B&W  chemicals--as I´m about to start developing my B&W´s again after a very long time the information is really helpful.
