My photo is a little different - there is definitely a difference between an 8x10 and a triplet lens, and a Contax 35mm with a 25mm Distagon. Oh wait, I forgot the story that goes along with my photo......

Hernandez is not a town, its a collection of rundown trailers around an old church. I visited it one day when I lived in Santa Fe. The place is about an hour drive north from Santa, if I remember right. I shot this photo of the church Adams photographed: http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=1274 Adams shot it from the highway, which is behind the church, while I made my photo from the front of it. The crosses and gravestones he saw behind the church were not visible when I was there because the whole churchyard was overgrown with tall weeds when I was there in the summer of 2006. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 3/25/13 10:56 PM, "Sonny Carter" <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> wrote: >But Adam, They could paint three dots on the ground at Yellowstone, and >at the appointed hour with an identical camera and identical plates >and, well, you get the picture, Actually, I mean, you would not get the >picture.
