The Hunting Camp

I grew up in a small town where most men, and a sizable number of women, hunted.  During the great depression my father hunted out of necessity, and had no interest in hunting for sport.  As an adult, I've developed an interest in environmental issues.  It surprises the people I know that I have no objection to regulated hunting.  It shocks many of them that I'd still like to try hunting.  Looks like these guys are having fun.

Mail Pouch

I don't have a lot of landscapes in the collection, but I've always liked this one. It shows a mail pouch, and earlier version of the modern mail box. Note the three hunters, just down the rutted dirt road. A nineteenth century albumen print, very likely a contact print made from a glass negative.
