Neighbor

I thought it would be a nice change of pace to post a photo with no post-processing whatsoever.

That's a lie; I'm just too tired and my eyes are too bleary to mess with it.

This is my neighbor's place. He's a stonemason. You know, tombstones and stuff like that. His entire place of business looks pretty much like that pile of rubble at the left of the photo and is a major eyesore. I suspect that he mostly does subcontracting work for other masons, since I can't imagine a customer coming directly to his place.

First photo from what is my oldest (and simplest) camera....an honest-to-goodness just-like-great-grandad's Kodak box brownie.

Camera: Kodak #2 Cartridge Hawkeye Model C (produced 1926-1934)
Film: Fujichrome Velvia 50
