We use to have those kind of churches over here in Sussex County, NJ but I
think they are all gone.
That looks like a great place to do some work...I'm totally jealous!!
Keep up the great work  let's see some more of the building.

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] My personal day off from work...


I hope my boss isn't reading...

Monday was just too nice a day to go back to
work, and, having just received a new
Finney 4x5 camera, I was longing to shoot
some photos.

This shot is from Master's Cemetary, about
10 miles or so east of Atlanta, Georgia.
http://www.hiddenworld.net/files/masters1.jpg

I was driving along aimlessly, as is my custom
when I go out to find something to photograph,
when, from the road, I was attracted by this
mysterious octagonal white building perched in
the back of this old cemetary.

Although is was kind of spooky, I got up the
nerve to go inside the building (the door was open),
and took this photograph:

http://www.hiddenworld.net/files/masters2.jpg

The interior of the building is pretty delapidated,
and some of the floor is rotting through, and
the pews are dusty.  This picture was taken with
an exposure of 9 minutes, and demonstrates the
most wide angle shot you can get with a Finney.
(40mm focal length).

Although the building doesn't appear to have been
used in quite some time, I could almost picture
mourners gathered here grieving the loss of a
loved one...

Jeff,

You will enjoy the Finney. I have one and it is now well worn in. I find
the super wide 40mm works well for that kind of interior and big trees that
otherwise wouldn't  get in the picture. But the negatives are difficult
to print if they are made on a bright sunny day outside due to the fall off
at the edges.
