I vaguely remember being trapped in a small town (Columbia City, Indiana) for a week while I was doing summer work for the Indiana State Soil Conservation offices. It was a programming job, but somehow The Boss arranged for me to essentially be held hostage so I'd not be interrupted while I worked.
At any rate, it was a small town and all I had to do was walk around the block and try to find something interesting to photograph.
Look! I found some wood! And my darkroom printwork went really wrong!
But it is a fun image.
