The Ortiz Mountains

Filed under: New Mexico — Christopher Crawford @ 7:58 pm

This small mountain range in the southern part of Santa Fe County, New Mexico was one of the prettiest sights in that part of northern New Mexico. They’re visible from the city of Santa Fe and from most other parts of the county as well. This photograph was made near the town of Galisteo southeast of Santa Fe, looking out across the Galisteo Basin.

The Ortiz Mountains were one of my favorite subjects. I often photographed them from the top of La Bajada Mesa just outside Santa Fe, where I saw the side of the mountains opposite the side shown here.

I have more photographs from my years in Santa Fe that I’ll be slowly adding as time goes on.

The Cricket Doll is reading the old children’s books that I found downstairs.

A beat up old Cricket Doll reads a children's book in an abandoned house. She sits on rotted wallpaper that has peeled off the wall behind her. A Little Golden Book called the night before Christmas sits on the ground next to her.

Bath in the Yard

Filed under: Forgotten Indiana — Christopher Crawford @ 9:02 pm

This bathtub sat next to this house on Spy Run Avenue in downtown Fort Wayne for a few months before it was finally hauled off to the landfill. Too bad, it was in good condition. Just needed to be repainted.

The Doll House #41 and #42

Filed under: The Doll House — Christopher Crawford @ 10:22 pm

The snow has melted and the dolls are waking up! Many more photographs are coming soon, the story is not over yet. I hope to visit the dolls again soon.

Five old broken dolls lay on the floor of an abandoned farmhouse. A Cabbage Patch Kid, a headless baby doll, a sleeping baby doll, and a doll with one leg are sleeping on the floor while a Cricket Doll sits against the peeling wallpaper.

A torn up children's book lays on the floor of an abandoned house with a dirty old pacifier on the ground next to it. The book is a Little Golden Books story called The Night Before Christmas. The cover shows Santa Claus coming out of the fireplace with his bag of presents.

Not From the Doll House!

Filed under: Waynedale, Forgotten Indiana — Christopher Crawford @ 12:58 am

Back in July of last year, I was driving through the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne when I saw this doll standing by the stop sign at the corner of Belle Vista Blvd. and Old Trail Rd. I took her picture and continued on my journey. A few hours later I drove by again and she was gone.

A naked doll stands by a stop sign at the corner of Old Trail Road and Belle Vista Blvd. A yard sale sign is nailed to a utility pole next to her.
