Some Random Iphonography

When you don't have your "real" camera with you what do you do? Why you resort to using your Iphone of course.

Images from Rural Mequon Wisconsin


 On my many trips to visit Mequon Wisconsin I noticed this abandoned farm house and barn. Mequon appears to be on the verge of development so I would expect this farm to soon be converted into a suburban development or retail center. Part of it is already being reclaimed by nature. The house that had been most recently partially renovated has been damaged by vandalism. A failed attempt at a new life given up. The farm is from another time complete with out house and likely once was quite important to a family who worked the land. But now that land is mostly gone. Yet the farm likely still has emotional links and latent memories. All of this results in a sense of mystery which I think leaves a sense of the hidden and unsaid in these photos.

Prince:Is Gone!!! Hard to Believe!!!

Singer and songwriter Prince performs onstage during his Purple Rain Tour in 1984. The artist, who pioneered "the Minneapolis sound" and took on the music industry in his fight for creative freedom, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/21/entertainment/prince-estate-death/index.html" target="_blank">died</a> Thursday, April 21, at age 57.
The One and Only--Prince! 
I was the same age as him.  He was an icon of breaking and broken rules. He was sex without bounds! An artist, a virtuoso! He lived and performed in a different world!!

Rest In Peace Prince Rogers Nelson! Rest in Peace!!!

St. Louis Urban Images in Black and White - And some in color!

I have been out again driving and shooting photos around my fair city of St. Louis for decades. St. Louis has its share of dead and decaying urban buildings. Many impressive buildings left over from a time when St. Louis was a booming metropolis in par with any major city in the nation. Buildings that have lost their luster but still are rich in detail and beauty. In the past few years however I have noticed a depressing trend.  The copper thieves have been decimating buildings that while vacant for many years had weathered their abandonment fairly well. That is until this scourge of copper thievery. The copper thieves will go to great lengths scale walls, climb on roofs and dangle from steeples to rip off gutters, fascia, trims and other details. Building parts that would and did last almost indefinitely when left only to the elements. Once the copper thieves are finished the gaping wounds that are left behind allow the elements to quickly destroy these buildings. For a few dollars gained at the scrap yard beautiful old historic buildings, buildings that have endured long vacancies, are quickly being destroyed. The lengths these people will go for such small amounts in return are amazing. They will risk life and limb. For a hundred bucks in scrap they cause immense damage in the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. I hope you enjoy these photos. Some of these buildings are going to be gone soon.
