About Me
- pitchertaker
- Central Massachusetts, United States
- I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA. I shoot these cameras and formats: ----Note: -- I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.

I visit regularly to get my daily dose of black and white photography. I can't stay too long lest the desire to own a view camera comes over me again.
This photograph (and many of the others you've posted) are startling in their graphic impact and sense of form and texture.
And I see why you travel West. I just never see things like this in central Pennsylvania.

Sadly, Steve, this is part of the dying western landscape. If only I had unlimited resources to seek and find these relics of another time. I find great beauty in their function over austere form of architecture. These elevators are products of necessity -- many millions of acres of the plains states planted in grains. Don't think they ever grew large volumes of grains in Pennsylvania.
