Looking Out Windows

Looking out windows – 1

There was a huge variety of condition of the rooms in the Hastings Building (for additional info on the Hastings Building, see my previous post). This one was in better condition than most … and the only one I noticed having a fireplace. Not sure that there is any chimney anymore. It was interesting that the glass varied significantly … some was old enough that it showed the typical waviness of old window glass. And much was newer … with less waviness. The windows on the weather side of the building are more susceptible to being blown out during storms and I expect the older glass is more susceptible than the newer panes.

Looking Up

Looking Up

I was waiting for a service representative in a warehouse store recently when I looked up and noticed the open network of pipes and other parts of the infrastructure. I thought it was an interesting pattern and worth a photo … a lot more than a photo of the service desk.

By the way, I was waiting to be fitted for hearing aids. I don’t have a lot of loss … mostly a reduction in high frequency sounds typical of folks my age. The first thing I really noticed a difference in after getting them was in hearing a lot more birdsong … well worth the extra money and minor hassle. So, I encourage you all to have your hearing checked regularly. You may not realize what you’re missing.

Just a Little Bit Crooked

Just A Little Bit Crooked

When I took this image into the Lightroom Development Module and was cropping, I REALLY struggled trying to square it up. But when I stepped back a moment, I realized that there just wasn’t anything I could adjust to make everything square. It reflects the old building just the way it was … crooked stairs and all. Sometimes reality just isn’t squared up. This was shot with a Nikon F6 on Kodak Tri-X … so black and white film … so the grain in the image reflects the film grain.

Wall Patterns

These were taken in the historic Hastings building in downtown Port Townsend. The building is not open to the public (except for shops on the ground floor) and its future is uncertain at this time. Hopefully, it will be renovated and the wonderful woodwork restored. In the meantime, some of the mess is visually interesting.
