Don't Much Like Quitters, Son

This is one of the huge abandoned factory buildings at the General Electric complex on Broadway in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company closed the last of its operations in Fort Wayne at the beginning of 2015, though most of the buildings, including this one, had sat empty for 20 years prior to that.

One of the billboards in front of the GE building features a famous quote from John Wayne, an American actor famous for playing cowboys, old-west lawmen, and other tough-guy characters:

"Don't much like quitters, son."

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print, and if you have ordered a framed print, to frame and mat it.

Thank you for supporting my work.
