Driving east on US-30, I stopped at a gas station to buy some coffee, when I noticed a grain elevator in the distance to the south. A road that ran past the gas station had a sign for the town of Hamlet, so I drove down the road to photograph the town.

This bar seemed to be the happening place in Hamlet, and was the only restaurant that I saw. Fortunately, the neon sign in the window promises Good Food. There was a stray black cat sitting on the sidewalk in front of the door who let me make some portraits of him.

I made this photograph as my son and I were driving home from Chicago, where we attended the annual Brickworld convention, which is a large gathering of Lego enthusiasts. Mack loves Legos, and had been looking forward to the trip for months, and it was a good excuse for me to get out of Fort Wayne and explore some areas of rural Indiana that I had not seen before.

See the next photograph from the trip, an abandoned medical office in the small town of Hamlet, Indiana.

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.
