A Couple More Drive-ins


 Mendon, Massachusetts

Monday evening was the first run of the drive-in project road show, a slideshow/presentation based on my long term project on drive-in theaters all across the US. The presentation at the Langely-Adams Library in Groveland, MA, had a nice crowd in the small conference area. On Tuesday we scouted out two drive-in theaters that I hadn't looked at before. In all the effort to reach theaters thousands of miles away, I've overlooked some of the few that remain here in New England.

Three Trees

Ansonia, Connecticut

Sometimes while editing a set of pictures I'll notice pairs or groups that seem to go together well, even reinforce each other. This time the subject-resonance was clear while I was shooting. The first two pictures here were made from almost the same position, one right after the other. Behind the first tree is one of the sets of floodgates built to keep the Naugatuck river from flooding the town in an extreme weather event. Behind the second are the backs of the commercial buildings lining the west side of Main Street. I noticed the third tree less than fifteen minutes later, about half a mile away, behind a shopping center at the south end of town.
