Pecans at dusk


A piece of property became available outside of town -- an old Southern home with a large backyard filled with aging pecan trees. As soon as we drove up, I knew right away that we couldn't buy that lot because the neighbors were so unbelievably loud. But the views were spectacular and the lighting was memorable, too, so we spent some time taking photographs. I was shooting the Olympus Pen FT camera with the 38mm f/1.8 onto Ektachrome 100 slide film. I love the feel of the entire set of photos made that day, but there really is a limit to how large you can print these half-frame images without them falling apart. These old Southern scenes are disappearing fast.
