This house is on Arbor Avenue, in the neighborhood where I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

When I was a teenager, the owner of the house was an elderly man named Cecil Young. I used to visit him often, and we would talk about photography, which he had done as a hobby since he was a young man.

After he and his wife died, the house's new owners added on to it. The house was very small; it only had two bedrooms. The Youngs had been married for over 50 years, but never had any children.

The porch was one of the things that was added. When I met Cecil, there was a flowerbed in front of the house, where the porch is now. I first met him when I knocked on his door to ask him if I could photograph the crocuses he had growing there.

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.
