An old Baton Rouge fire station, out of use for years. The last time I photographed it https://365project.org/eudora/365/2018-06-02 there was evidence that someone was living there. Now it has been boarded up. But I LOVE some of the architectural details of this building and wish it could be renovated for another use. Of course, I haven't seen the inside!
It's such a beautiful building- I do hope someone decides to repurpose it at some point before it gets too far gone.
Thank you for the comment on my blog too! That meant so much to me! Neither of my grandmothers were photographers as far as I know. I was imagining what my great great granddaughter might think if she held a picture taken by me- quite fanciful of me!
@olivetreeann Sometimes we really get to know people through their photographs. I hope our great grandchildren do get to hold pictures we took!
I grew up quite close to my Aunt Alice, a high school teacher who traveled in North American or Europe all summer every summer. She had a 35 mm camera and took slides. She was very careful with her camera settings because she was very thrifty and did not want to waste film (she had to be thrifty to afford all that travel!) The exposures are perfect. I inherited some of her slides and saw a new aspect to Aunt Alice--her love of beauty and family and what was important to her.
@eudora She sounds like a fun person to know with lots of stories to tell. That's really special that you were so close to her- the slides become even more treasured that way.
I couldn't get back to the older picture either- but forgot to say so.
The best thing about Aunt Alice was that she believed strongly in women's education, encouraged her nieces to go to college or nursing school and helped at least one of my cousins with the cost.
