Junk Yard Car

Sometime in the 90's during a trip to Delaware, Ohio, Jim's mother introduced me to a fabulous local junk yard.  I think I took three rolls of black and white film that first trip!  It was the new era of C-41 and I had the pictures put on a small disc as well as getting negatives for the darkroom.  Two years ago, I started a project of going through all of my negatives and discs to "organize" them better.  Yeah, right, Ruthanne!  Anyway, I put the discs in the only computer in the house that still has a slot for that size and saved them on a flash drive to be added to my collection.  I found these the other day as I was looking through that collection and love the tone the C-41 processing gave to them.  Not sure where the other ones landed, but they will show up somewhere : )

Car Graveyard

Grave Plot

Bouquet

Planter

The second stop on Dan's and my adventure in Rogers, OH was a car graveyard. The beautiful wild flowers and lovely day softened the effect of the airbags employed, broken windshields and bald tires. As I shot, I worried and wondered about the drivers who had had these accidents and their passengers. I hoped and prayed that they had not only survived, but had flourished since their incident. I hope when Dan and I pass that way again, the graveyard will not be more crowded. More in flickr photostream.
