Doing a day trip to the Whalers Museum, Mystic  Conn., I spotted this old house on blocks apparently moved from some other local location. The picture to the right is a cropping of the photograph. It got my attention because of the number of times this old building and the "doors" had been painted by people who have lived there in the past and made this old house their home.  The picture left below, was taken outside Las Vegas NV., in the early seventies. The character who rented the horses behind the shed, was more picturesque then the structure and all the stuff around it.

The man had no interest in becoming part of my photograph and disappeared inside his castle.

On one of our trips to Holland we visited Voorschoten, a small community at the eastern edge of The Hague. Wandering around in a modern shopping area I noticed a small alley (O-1030)  with small antique and fashion Shoppe's and old buildings, connecting the today's world with an older world. (O-1008) Most of the buildings in the alley and the street pictures in O-1008 date back to 1700-1800 era. Modernization of these structures is supervised by local preservation committees making changes to an exterior almost impossible. Nikon F2/50mm, Ektachrome 100, 1/125 @ f-16.

picture as "Pop Photography." I spotted this building when traveling highway 40 to Ocala. Some months later, I went back for it and finally found it nearly twice the distance further up the road than I had remembered it. The location is Lynne, central Florida.

The Sorino Resort Hotel on Beach Drive in St. Petersburg Fl, was one of many splendid places where the wealthy spend the winter. Due to new resorts build directly on the beaches of Florida and better transportation allowing shorter stays, the resort was closed in the fifties. The hotel suffered from rebar expansion due to concrete mixing with washed sand from salt water sources. The impurities and salt in the sand caused concrete deterioration making the building and unfit for remodeling.  It was imploded in the early nineties.
