bank building : elmdale kansas : march 2007
we went away for a few days. a little roadtripping for spring break. upon return, i did not feel quite gratified artistically. i love looking and hiking in nature, even attempting photographic documentation. but i am really not a nature photographer, so i decided to take a trek to the prairie. i was looking for the “ghost towns” of chase county. which is a silly term, as there are people living in them quite peacefully. only about 50 per town, perhaps. and so many buildings abandoned. i wanted to claim each of them. but could only do it with my camera and mind.
