Squirrel Dance Hall gets a makeover

Cody Clark is prepping the facade of the Squirrel Dance Hall/Community Center for a new paint job.  The last time it was painted was about 27 years ago.  Last chance for photos with that great patina for another 30 years.

Squirrel house

Darren and I photographed a home on Hal Harrigfeld's property.  It was built by his great grandfather around  1917 and last lived in by his grandmother in the 1970s.  It was a good opportunity to explore an abandoned home that was still pretty much intact, no graffiti or vandalism.  I made Hal's acquaintance and he was gracious enough to meet us Saturday morning and unlock the door.  He gave us free reign of the space.  We, at least myself, just felt like I was just getting to understand the space and the visual potential of the property.  The light was harsh and made it difficult to get the images we were pushing for.  I hope to make another visit and make more images.

Stitched Pano with "Lens Correction" Filter

The horizontal break in the ceiling line is not a distortion.

I visited this site again after looking at Darren's TS images. I was going try and achieve the same affect with stitching. I guess if you want to play with PS for hours you might come close. Any way here are some inferior results.
