Ruins of Chaffee I Photo

Photographer’s Note

Fort Chaffee, in Northwest Arkansas, had a large chunk of its buildings burn down in a grass fire. I delivered pizzas on this road when I was in my early 20's. Now nothing remains but the foundations, chimneys, and stoves.

Hello Hubert,
A surrealistic somewhat depressing view well brought in black and white.
Your note is really necessary to understand...
Excellent choice for a central point of view and a long format accentuating the two surprisingly symmetric rows of pillars.
Regards,
Paul

Eerie and desolate. I like it. "Road to Nowhere" might be a good title, too.

Hi Hubert,

Must be sad for you as this is the street that you roamed during your younger days.

You have captured this in excellent perspective. I like the strong contrast and saturation with fine grey tones of b+w. Excellent work and TFS.

Best regards,
Jusni

Hi Hubert,

Strange, surreal view, it gives a special mood.
Excellent shot, the graytones ar super.
Are you satisfied of your 5D II ? The result pleases me!
TFS
