Black &White Photographs
1987 - 1991
Here are some of my older photographs that I recently came across. All of them were taken in the late 1980s with a Sears & Roebuck KS500 camera (Ricoh manufactured) on Kodak Tri-X Pan film. These are the first photographs I processed myself in the darkroom. The negatives are long lost and all images here were scanned from my original prints.
Surprenant Barn
I took this photograph of my grandfather's dairy barn in Harmony, WI during Thanksgiving week, 1987.
My father and I were out visitng for a deer hunting trip. My father told how he helped his dad build this
barn when my father was a young boy. The barn is gone today, but it was a great experience to hunt
with my dad and uncle on the old farm on which they both grew up.
