Lev Spencer, Springfield Giants. Taken at Pynchon Park, Springfield, Massachusetts. This is a photograph of a 35mm slide I took in 1960 that has since become badly deteriorated.
Leica M3, Fujichrome Sensia 200 expired 04/2009. My work habits were worst-case scenario. This film was in the M3 from August until Dec. 2024. I'm ashamed of myself for that! One of the late pictures on this film, really bad flare and I'm not sure why (Gee Bobby, could it be that you left the film in your damn M3 for too many months????)

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

FWD's again -- I filmed the "big" cars, but my movies were a lot longer and Flickr will only accept 'em if they're under a minute.
Same as I said around this time last year, I am very impressed with Springfield Raceway. From a spectator's point of view, it was a pretty cool show -- as a racer sittin' in the stands, I wished I had my car with me for so many reasons. There's a lot to be said for careful racing, and there's more to it than just a night with few crashes. These guys are within a few weeks of ending their season, they've been at this every weekend since about March; and most of the cars still look great, they're not all beat to hell. Seems to me they're a lot more willing to let out and avoid instead of just ramming one another, and that's a very beautiful thing.
Springfield Racers, I salute you! If it weren't for the three-hour drive, The TwentyCarlo would be oh so proud to be there amongst ya!
