Four Pumps – May 2, 2015
At the end of 2014, I upgraded from the Nikon D3100 to the Nikon D7100, and even though the craftsman never blames his tools, I immediately noticed an improvement in the quality of my images. In May of 2015, I spent a long day traveling about three hours west from Dallas to Foard and Hardeman counties. After scouting out multiple locations in the daylight, I spent about four hours after dark taking pictures of the Foard City grain silo and scale house and a few interesting places in and around Chillicothe before returning to Dallas by 4:00 in the morning! But the highlight of the evening came when I visited Medicine Mound, a deserted town that saw many of its businesses close in the 1950s including the gin and post office. The pumps in front of this deserted filling station are in relatively solid shape and the number of them may indicate how populated this area once was. I was real happy how the red-gelled flashlight helped accentuate the rusted shells of the gas pumps.
