On the Fourth of July, I drove around my hometown looking for interesting patriotic displays for the holiday. This garden's fence was a permanent fixture, rather than a holiday display, but it intrigued me because it included a Chinese flag along with a couple of American flags.

The owners weren't home, but their neighbors told me that the garden is owned by an American man and his Chinese wife. They both love America, and she is proud of her heritage, so they put both flags on their garden fence.

This is on Ontario Street, in the working class neighborhood around Brooklyn Avenue on the west side of Fort Wayne, Indiana. I photographed it in the evening around 7pm, before my son and I went to see the fireworks.

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.
