Remembering The Old Flour Mill~Jefferson Street in Roanoke, VA

I remember the Old Flour Mill on Jefferson Street!  I happened to be driving by one day and saw that it was being demolished and could not help be drawn to beauty of the ruins.  I went home and packed up my camera gear and headed back down to capture an image of the remains a few days before it was leveled.  I shoot several different angles, but none seem to capture it’s beauty.  Frustrated, I walked back to my car.  I looked back one last time before turning the corner onto Reserve Ave. and there it was, the angle I wanted.  By this time it was a bit dark so the exposure needed to be quit long.  This was all a blessing in disguise because the long exposure allowed several cars to move through the shoot while the shutter was open adding some nice light trails to the shot.  This just goes to show you that sometimes the powers that be know what they want even when you don’t.  I recently had the image printed by Marco Fine Arts and am happy to say they are available for purchase.  Contact me for print sizes and pricing.
