A week and a half ago I traveled to the Lonaconing Silk Mill in Lonaconing, Maryland (this is about as far west as you can go in Maryland). I traveled with a photography group led by a very talented photographer, Denise Ippolito. I had seen some images in the past and my hopes were that the mill would still have some equipment in place. Well, I can tell you my expectations were more than met. The 4+ hour drive was more than worth it. Nature’s elements are starting to penetrate the building. The gentleman who owns the facility, Herb, is trying to figure out a way to save the structure. The last time it was in operation was 1957.
Hi Frank, Your images are wonderful. I especially like the machinery close-ups. You made that one pair of shoes really shine -forgive the pun! It is a great place to photograph and I ebjoyed spending time with you. I look forward to seeing more.
Denise, Thanks for the very kind comments. Looking forward to the next one!
My favorite shot is the shoes.
Heather,
Thanks. The shoes are my favs also.
Frank
A fantastic set of images Frank. Well done!
Thanks John!
Frank, I just found the mill shots and they are great. That was a fun weekend and I managed to get some decent stuff, but have a lot of processing to do yet. Learning too for that matter!
