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.

Frank, so far the houses in this project reminds me of all the times I went out photographing in the Old Sixth Ward. I've started dropping some of those images into a blurb book. I took the photographs between 2003 and 2006 and even in this short time since then it is interesting to go back and see the changes. Without the photographs there is not a recognization of that change but in many cases it is considerable.
Also the other thing about this kind of project is in older neighborhoods the houses are more individual and what you find on porches tells so much about the people who live in the houses.
I'm thinking about photographing in the neighborhood where we bought a lot for my Sofobomo project. I was thinking I'd do it in monotone but your "true-color" images are making me rethink that.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this series develops over the summer.
