Quincy Illinois June 2008

I was in Quincy for the Midsummer Arts Faire last week, about the time of their Mississippi River flood crests.
Most of the city was safe, built on high bluffs.
Pentax ME camera body, f:1.7 / 50mm lens, ASA 200 print film.
All images hand held and available light, including indoor antique shop shots.

Excellent documentary shots of the sandbag 'production line'. True friends helping friends in time of need. Very pretty scene of sunset over the Quincy bridge. I took similar pictures there just a year ago...but minus the high water. Thanks for displaying your work. Dave

Love the over growth on building and sunset. Bridge is pretty good shot too.

Your 26 overgrowth shot and days end are stunning. Do you ever use these photos as a reference for a painting? The kitty shot is adorable. I hope the poor thing got adopted and had his infected eye taken care of.
