More Robert Adams content

The photographer, Robert Adams has been featured here several times ,  photos here in Wheat Ridge, photos in Eden Colorado.  While perusing a photography auction catalog I saw one of his photos to be auctioned.  It was of a Menonite church in Joes, Colorado.  I frequently go through this small eastern Colorado town on my way to Kansas.  I was interested to see if I’d ever taken a picture of this church or whether it might have been taken down.

Here’s Adams’ version from 1965.   Here’s my version - not very glamorous and it takes some imagination to see that it is in fact the same structure.

I will be going thru Joes this weekend and will try to get a better image.  In fact I’m thinking of bringing out my Bronica S2 6 x 6 camera which needs some exercise.  Stay tuned !
