1936 Williamsport. PA.



With Williamsport under a flood watch today, I thought I would share this image of the 1936 flood. I think, but am not certain, that this is the area where Penn College is now. The Cromar factory is in the background. Perhaps someone will confirm that or correct my error. This is a scan of a 4x5 inch glass plate.

"As machines become more and more efficient and perfect, so it will become clear that imperfection is the greatness of man." Ernst Fischer
This has become my mantra as I move away from digital photography back to film. This portrait was taken on expired 4x5 Type 52 Polaroid film. When I use it I surrender a degree of control and let the medium influence the final image that is far from the perfection of a digital capture.
