This shot is an experiment. The basic theme exists in real life, that

of a little-used side road which dead ends....somewhere. The

problem is that the scene is cluttered with a lot of extraneous stuff

(crisscrossed power lines, a second power pole, weeds, etc.) that

basically killed the underlying scene. So, yes, folks, I Photoshopped

the shot! ;-)

It would have been better to shoot from the middle of the road. But, I

would have needed to squat down, and I wasn't sure my recently

replaced hip would have allowed that.

Any, comments are welcome, and thanks...

This was the result of one my first outings with my Hasselblad 501C.

It could have gone better. The house was in terrible shape, and I

was sure that it would collapse of it's own weight within days. Six

years later, it finally did.

Recently, I stumbled across the negative and decided to have a go

at getting something worthwhile from it. I sent the negative to a lab

down in Phoenix, and they did a pretty good job of cleaning it up and

scanning it. So, here's the result.

I've always had a feeling about this place. I'd like to think that some

of the wood may end up in one of my barnwood frames...

One of the things I really like about Sedona is the fact that most of

the architecture is designed to blend in with the natural scenery, not

compete with or distract from it. This house is probably one of the

best examples.

Thanks for your comments....

Thanks, Larry.  We need to go back to Shnebly Hill Road - lots more to shoot...
