This is my last photograph from my visit to an abandoned farm on Feighner Road in rural southwest Allen County, Indiana on May 29. This quanset hut was one of many barns and smaller outbuildings behind the farmhouse.

I have more photographs from a later visit that I’ll post soon.

This is the roof of the abandoned farmhouse at the old farm on Feighner Road in southwest Allen County that I have been photographing. I was fascinated by the lightening rods; I have never seen one roof with so many!

This is a photograph I made of my girlfriend, Catrina Kleven, while we waited for the 4th of July fireworks to begin. The sun was about to set, and there wasn’t much light, but I got a pretty nice portrait.

Here is another of my older photos of my son, MacKenzie Crawford. This was made last December when I was testing a new film. My son makes a good guinea pig for equipment tests! He was 10 years old when I made this photograph.

Here is another photograph from the abandoned farm on Feighner Road that I have visited a couple of times recently. This photograph was made on my first visit to the farm, located in southwest Allen County, Indiana north of Yoder Road. This is the side door of the house.

I took my son to the fireworks on the 4th of July this year. My girlfriend and I took our cameras and photographed the crowds, and of course I made several photographs of MacKenzie. He finally got annoyed with my photographing, as you can see in this photograph from that evening.

Catrina got a great photograph of my son and I together that evening as well. I have few photographs of Mack and I together because I am the one with the camera most of the time. This is one of the best that I have of us!

This photograph of my son, MacKenzie Crawford, was made last month on the day that I made the photographs of the clothespins at an abandoned farmhouse near Fort Wayne. My son had stayed with me several days and he came along when I went out photographing. I made this quick portrait that afternoon while my girlfriend was photographing an old building.

I have also created a new project category on my main website for my portraits of MacKenzie. I have made hundreds of photographs of him over the years, and several of them have been on display in my Portraits category. I’ve decided to give him his own page, which I will be adding more to soon. I have many more photographs of him to scan and some new ones that I made on the 4th of July this year!

I found this old Ford 4×4 pickup truck for sale along Knoll Road when I went to a garage sale nearby. I thought the Sharpie-markered inscription on the tailgate was funny, so I photographed it. Hillbilly Deluxe!

Here’s the second photograph of the clothesline next to the abandoned farmhouse on Feighner Road in southwest Allen County, Indiana. I wonder how long these clothespins have clung to that line?

Another photograph from the abandoned farm on Feighner Road. This was made during my second visit to this place, last Friday. The old clothesline still stands, complete with ancient weathered wood clothespins. I made several photographs of them, of which this is the first.
