Retro Rewind

After being behind the lens for a few thousand snaps of the shutter, I have come to realize what my favorite shots include - grunge, interesting architecture, and up-close textures. When I was recently tipped off to a spot that included all of the above (plus retro themes) I knew it wouldn't be long until I would make time for a visit.
Enter the small minuscule town that is Cammack, Indiana. After driving through the heart of the town and nearly missing it, I quickly spotted the reason that I drove half an hour out of Muncie - Cammack Station. While looking around for a parking space I noticed an extremely weathered grain elevator which wasn't my reason for the trip, but it immediately caught my eye as a great photo op. Below are the shots from around the elevator, restaurant, and the township. Enjoy.
Side note - The restaurant apparently doesn't open until April 6th, but an extremely nice older gentleman noticed me snapping off shots of the building and asked me inside. We chatted for nearly an hour about the history of building, town, and his involvement with both. To top it all off, he allowed me to take some pretty cool photos of the interior as well. You have got to love small towns. Get retro'd after the jump!

Broad Ripple (Part One): The writing on the wall

Two days in a row of good weather? Sounds like two days in a row of good shooting if you ask me. I have been meaning to get some shots around the Broad Ripple area, particularly of the grunge and disgustingly beautiful back alleys. I hope to further my Broad Ripple shots into different families i.e., Food, People, Nature, Nightlife, etc. So enjoy the first collection within the set.
Mile Marker- This week marks the 10th week of the blog, and my 10th entry! I'm loving everything about this photo-web-journal-experiment so far, and I hope you are too! Also, happy bday Mr. Deuce! Check out the urban art after the jump.

A Butler serving a Holliday (Park)

Bulldogs, hippies and geese, oh my! I decided to put together a random collection of shots from the first great weather day of the year (thank the Lord), and the majority of them consist of photos around Holliday Park. This is the second time I have been, each time turning out a great plethora of shots. I think I have stated this before, but I CANNOT wait until mother nature works her magic and makes this place bloom.
After Holliday Park, I took a quick trip to Butler University to see what the campus had to offer (a very quick trip thanks to a parking meter and only one quarter in my pocket) and it turned out to have a few cool sculptures, but thanks to Spring Break, no students. I am going to go ahead and say that today was an overall great start to (what better be) a great spring season! Check out some nature after the jump.
