I wonder how many generations have walked this wooden sidewalk. I wonder how grandchildren were scolded for running and jumping too close too its abrupt edge.

St. Patrick Catholic Church – Since the old building from 10 years ago no longer exists

In 2008, I photographed a macro photo of a door on the Whelan Tire warehouse…since then, as many of you likely know, it burned down. Since I started this “recreating/re-imagining 10 years go from Butte Daily Photo” I’ve been contemplating what I would do in an instance where the building/property/THING no longer existed! 1. Would …

Photos of The Original Than & Now: (You can see the original post from 2008 at this link) 10 years ago their were holes in the side of the hoist house, which I actually found very intriguing and charming. For whatever reason natural urban decay fascinates me. So last year vs. this year of the …
