Items of note:
• First "deck" ever (rare for a graphic design nerd right?)
• Inspired by this "most magnificent, perverse, and undeniably American" piece of of corn
• Submission for a "we-need-culture-in-our-workplace" event
• I've never been very handy with a brush (however I did paint dorm rooms one summer)
• Saved the most difficult piece (lettering) for 2 hours before deadline (typical)
• This old obsession can now inform the newer, practical, working model.

A number of years ago, I worked closely with a manufacturing facility in NW Indiana. I was
there when a fairly heavy storm occurred. This shows what "lake effect" can do, as the plant
was approximately 30 miles from Lake Michigan.

Solvay Gas & Coke, Opened in 1906, closed in 1983. This site has sat abandoned for decades due to high environmental contamination from a whole host of chemicals ranging from arsenic to asbestos.
Important Note : Shot taken with a 24mm tilt shift right before the sun began to set which made all the colors pop! Notice how all the vertical lines are going straight up and down...this is due to the tilt shift.

Lately I feel that I haven't really been shooting for myself, which is ok for a while because I've been making some money which awesome! And people need photos and I will gladly help out, but it was really nice to finally post something on here that I really love and connect to. Although I will do any type of photography, and shoot anything someone asks me to, my heart is in the editorial side of photography and it was great to shoot something on those lines tonight. I love these old style motels so much!

Grain storage in Quinter, KS. Quinter is located at an old railroad switching site called Melota. In 1885 a town called Farmington was built there consisting mainly of a hotel. Because of possible confusion with other city names in Kansas the US Government would not establish a post office under the Farmington name. The name Quinter was chosen after Rev. James Quinter, a local Baptist Brethern minister.
