Here's another version of the red barn from a few posts ago, but with a different camera and in B&W. I'll get to the inside of the house next week.

Camera: Diana+ camera using Rollei Retro 400 B&W film developed in Rodinal 1:50

News: I am showing photos the month of May at Inman Perk in Atlanta as part of a group show. Here is a copy of the show card.

Song of the day: 'Sweet River Roll' by Josh Garrels

Poem of the day:
'THE poplars are fell'd! farewell to the shade
And the whispering sound of the cool colonnade;
The winds play no longer and sing in the leaves,
Nor Ouse on his bosom their image receives.

Twelve years have elapsed since I last took a view
Of my favourite field, and the bank where they grew;
And now in the grass behold they are laid,
And the tree is my seat that once lent me a shade!

The blackbird has fled to another retreat
Where the hazels afford him a screen from the heat,
And the scene where his melody charm'd me before
Resounds with his sweet-flowing ditty no more.

My fugitive years are all hasting away,
And I must ere long lie as lowly as they,
With a turf on my breast and a stone at my head,
Ere another such grove shall arise in its stead.

The change both my heart and my fancy employs,
I reflect on the frailty of man and his joys;
Short-lived as we are, yet our pleasures, we see,
Have a still shorter date, and die sooner than we.'
- W. Cowper, 'The Poplar Field'
