I have great plans for myself and a 4×5 camera this summer.
If you’re not quite sure what one those looks like, check the pic on my about page and that’s the camera I’m messing with.
Anyways, my plans include deciding on a few landmarks that are intertwined in my and emotional identification with this state. I really wanted to start on this project sooner but as always, school kept me busy.
If any of you Thomasvillians want to help me out with locations I’d be much obliged.
Heres what I’ve accomplished so far, not much but… its growing.
The Lapham Paterson House was built in 1885 as a winter home by a Chicago shoe merchant who got caught in the Great Chicago Fire. His doctor told him to move south on account of the therapeutic value of the pine-scented air. For safe measure, he had the house built with something like 50 doors throughout.
This is Maryland Fried Chicken, no one is allowed out of Thomasville without eating at least one meal. My high school graduating class and I ate here everyday for a straight week before leaving just to get our fix.
I’m not really sure at all what happened to this negative when I exposed it but I’ll be remaking this photo once I am home again.
On another note!
I will be walking in graduation this saturday (still have 2 summer classes to finish up though)! Some other grads and I are having a large sized family party out on Tybee island after it’s all over.
pictures may ensue…
