One of my best mistakes. Mostly I ruined film if I screwed up, but this worked out in my favor.
Completed in 1895, the Jerseyville Station is typical of most rural T,H&B Stations and was never replaced during it's time under the various owners of the railway. Passenger service ended at Jerseyville in the 1960s, and the station became the centre of a bidding war, eventually the Westfield Heritage Village won out and the station was among the first buildings to be present when the museum opened in 1964. It has appeared in Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea, and Murdoch Mysteries.

Still looking for that 'excellent' shot of my home church. I'm pretty happy with this one. The current building, constructed in 1890 saw extensive restoration efforts to allow it to continue to serve the Milton community.

The Kettle Creek Bridge, or the MCR Bridge is the third railroad bridge constructed over Kettle Creek in the western part of St. Thomas. The original bridge, completed by Canadian Southern in 1872 was a simple single track wooden trestle. When Michigan Central secured a lease of the CASO line in 1883 they constructed a second bridge using metal and featuring a double track. However, the bridge would not be strong enough to support two trains at a time as locomotives got larger and trains got longer. In 1928 the third bridge began construction using concrete pilings and a single metal support in the bridge centre. The new bridge opened for traffic in 1930. The last train travelled the bridge in 1996 after CN & CP wound down operations. Today the bridge is a local landmark, holds several historical designations and is home to the St. Thomas Elevated Park.

Another image from my trip to the Porcupine Mountains this past July. I thought the day was going to be a wash (due to the storm front blowing in heavy cloud cover from the northwest), but I knew if I hung in there a moment would present itself.
I was happy to see the seagulls remain calm throughout the exposure. It was an indication that this image was meant to be.

Oakville's position as a port of entry made it a valuable haven for those seeking freedom from the harsh slave laws in the United States. The earliest recorded arrival took place in 1823. Many became residents of the growing town of Oakville, and the Turner Memorial Chapel is proof of that. Built between 1890 and 1, the chapel was an African Methodist Episcopal Church branch. Through the 20th Century, the congregation dwindled, and the church found a new use as a home for a small Anglican community. It was the Anglicans who raised the needed funds to restore the church. In 2002 the church was purchased by Jed Gardner and is an Antique shop today.

This image is about 5 X 7 inches and is mounted on a cut down card. The camera on a tripod is from the dry plate era, late 19th or early 20th century. Two young boys stand with the photographer in a derby in the median of a wide city boulevard lined with large residences. On the right is a carriage with a mounting block and on the left a carriage with a horse. There is a monument in the distance and there appear to be electric light strung across the median. Does anyone recognize the monument since it might still be in place today?
I am posting a detail of the photographer and camera.
*Thanks to a sharp eyed flickr user, Paul Z, I am now sure that this the Confederate monument next to St. James United Methodist Church on Green Street in Augusta, Georgia. I have made an enlarged scan of the large building on the left side of the photograph and the placement and shape of the windows exactly match the photograph of St. James church.
I am moving the image to "The Astonishing Power of Flickr" group and will take it off "What's That Picture?" shortly.

This church originally was build of wood in 1123 while crossridders went to Jerusalem, After 1603 catholicism was forbidden by reformers until 1891 when the church became to narrow and a stonen neogotic cathedral was build and in 1892 reconsaced by the archbishop of Utrecht. In 1974 a beautiful carillon was installed.

Shot of our backyard pond and waterfall after a rain storm back on 9-1-2013. I use this subject as a testing ground for new cameras, lenses and techniques so when I started shooting 4x5 Large Format film cameras, I had to get a shot of the pond.

Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge
This is the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge, officially known as the Veterans Memorial Bridge. It spans the Susquehanna River between Columbia in Lancaster County and Wrightsville in York County, Pennsylvania. It carries PA-Route 462 a total of 6,657 feet across the river. When the bridge first opened on September 30, 1930, there was a $.25 toll charge per car. Tolls are no longer collected on the bridge today. The bridge carries an average of 10,350 cars per day. The bridge was designed by James B. Long and built by Glen Wiley and Glenway Maxon (Wiley-Maxon Construction Company) at a cost of $2,484,000 (equal to $32,679,504 today) plus $56,400 (equal to $741,998 today) paid as an early completion bonus.

We are photographing and researching items in our collection for the upcoming book and I do love the internet! We have had this woodcut of a Japanese woman being photographed for many years. Today I learned that it is by Yukawa Shodo from the series "Occupations for the Daughters of Merchants" c.1900.
The western terminus of the Guelph & Goderich Line, the CPR station for Goderich is a grand example of historic railway architecture. Constructed of brick and featuring an asymmetrical footprint along with a hip-roof and a witch's hat the station is a striking building. With multiple waiting rooms, inside washrooms a large office along with baggage and express rooms. The station also maintained a large yard with a six-stall roundhouse and turntable. While passenger service ceased in 1956, freight operations continued until 1988 and the rails torn up by 1989. The station was sold to the town in 1992 and some efforts were made to preserve the location, although these efforts never saved the building. That wouldn't happen until 2010 when a private owner purchased the building, had it moved in 2013. Then in 2015 after two years of restoration and renovations it reopened as the Beach Street Station, a beach-side restaurant.

Yup, I had to do the cheesy pose with your new camera shot! This is Veronica. My Toyo 45A view camera.
This camera is ridiculously cool. She's kinda huge, too. At 6lbs, this is not really a camera that you hold in your hands and take snapshots with.
There are 2 things I love about this camera: First, It is completely boiled down to the basics of camera technology. Everything is manual. There's no battery. There's no meter. There's no auto-focus. The film comes in sheets.
Second, the whole process of shooting with it has to be slow and methodical. Setting up the camera takes time. Composing and focusing takes time. Its good to slow down. That's been my motto over these past few months...
Me and Veronica are going to have a lovely time in Glacier National Park in a couple weeks. :-)
While originally not too pleased with the cloud suddenly blocking out a lot of my light, looking at it now I rather like the effect.

obviously a slew of technical issues here but I like to think of all the dust, light fog and poor exposure as just 1930's instagram.
