Thank you, Helen. I grew up in Horseheads, which is a "suburb" of Elmira. I think you Big City folk know Elmira for the penitentiary. But I couldn't get out of there fast enough and left at 18.
My mother and much of my family still live there. I visit now and then. She just passed away and I took a couple roadtrips from Chicago in her last days. I took my time and photographed along the way. This is one of them. Looking at the pictures now, they seem filled with metaphor to me. I considered starting a thread on it and sharing, but wasn't ready to do that.
I'm working on trying to get the most of BW tonality from the X100F files and appreciate your comment about that. It's no MM, but I'm working at it.
