Photographing Landmarks

It was in the beautiful, late afternoon light that I photographed this side of the Jones Grocery Store building, which is located in the western portion of the Lewisville Township. The store photos I’ve shown before on the website were shot from the front and the opposite side of the store, in mid-morning light.

I mentioned in the last post that I really love looking at old buildings. Sadly, many of them are slowly vanishing from our landscapes. And too often, they’re replaced with structures that simply can’t compare, in terms of “personality” and originality.

One of my goals is to photographically capture the beautiful old structures in Lewisville — in their best light — before they will someday likely meet their demise. Jones Grocery Store is just one of those on my photo list.

More Photos

I’ve placed several more photos of Jones Grocery Store in the NEXT SECTION, including black-and-white versions. I hope you’ll enjoy them.

Notice the different emotional perspectives you experience when viewing the color images versus the black-and-white images. It’s interesting how the “moods” evoked by the two versions can be so different.

Share Your Recommendations

As I stated earlier, I aim to digitally capture many of the old buildings, barns and other old structures in Lewisville. However, I suspect that there are some structures that I’ve failed to consider. That’s because I’m either not aware of them, or I may have “blinders” on.

If you would, please take a few moments now, or in the coming days as you think about this, to share with me some of the old structures in Lewisville that you think should be on my photo list.

Please share your thoughts in the Comments section below. I’ll really appreciate your input.

    The meaning of quality in photography's best pictures lies written in the language of vision. That language is learned by chance, not system. —Walker Evans
