Check out my list on Amazon

Here's our Amazon wishlist! What we need most is ready to eat meals like canned soup (Campbell's chunky etc.), Hormel Compleat, Chef Boyardee, etc. The list isn't in order but those items are on there.

My parents & I run a Little Free Food Pantry & we're running low on ready to eat, pre-made food. All money goes directly to buying for the homeless. Thanks!

Sad to see, it appears they're prepping for demolition of the former Nite Spot Cafe (1933) on Route 66 in Fairmont City, Illinois

St Anselm Catholic Church and St Louis Abbey, built in 1962 and designed by architect Gyo Obata of Hellmuth, Obata Kassabaum.

This is probably my favorite mid century Catholic Church in St Louis

Charred remnants of the former bridge at the Crunden Martin complex near downtown St Louis.

This fire was heartbreaking for me, the complex & bridge between the warehouses was one of my favorite industrial buildings in St Louis, and was one of the first places I’d show people when giving tours

An abandoned Victorian era high school in Dallas City, Illinois, built in 1896.

It’s been sitting since 2006 and is slated for demolition, but apparently they can’t even find the money to demolish it.

A house in Alton, Illinois, taken on 116 roll film with my 1917 Eastman Kodak Premo Cartridge camera.

116 film is a large format roll film introduced in 1899 and discontinued in 1984. It's larger than 120 film, coming in at 70mm.

I’m extremely excited these turned out!

Three Sears Catalog kit houses in Rock Hill and Brentwood, Missouri. Their models are Crescent, Berwyn and Grant, built roughly in 1926, 1940 and 1929.

Over the next month I'm going to try and photograph all 56 confirmed Sears houses in the St Louis area
