Back to school: Columbus Collegiate Academy
Columbus Collegiate Academy in Ohio holds classes in the Seventh Avenue Community Baptist Church. (I like this photograph but I see it as an almost; should I crop out the boy on the right? I wish I’d taken this photograph just one-quarter of a second earlier! I want more of the cross, less of the boy. Ahhh….)
Dayton, Ohio
Dayton, Ohio, was once an industrial boomtown, but since factories started closing in the 1960s and 1970s, the city has been in decline. This abandoned house is in the ninth emptiest neighborhood in the United States. My co-workers warned me not to walk around these areas, but I felt safe on this street because every single house was empty. It was eerily quiet and sad.
Just something amusing I saw in Dayton’s Oregon District: fraternal twins.
