Facade

This old school in the Rural Municipality of Auvergne No. 76, in southern Saskatchewan, is over a century old.  It is now privately owned, and in the process of being restored.  I believe the owners are intending to turn it into a residence, though the project seems to have stalled in recent years.
Margarit and I were visiting on September 19th of this past year and it was a very windy day when I took this photograph at around 1:00 in the afternoon.  I shot this image on Kodak Tri-X Pan film rated at 320 iso and processed normally in PMK Developer.  I used my Ebony view camera and a wide Rodenstock 90mm Lens.  A #25 Red Filter deepened the sky, and lightened the brick.  The shutter speed of 1/8 second did not stop the motion in the grass that was being buffeted around by the gusting winds.  This was intentional.
