| Looking north on W Indianhead Dr from the end of the driveway. | |
| Looking south on W Indianhead Dr from the end of the driveway. Taken at the same time as the one above looking north. The difference in color has a little to do with the direction but a lot more either with my exposure setting or with the automatic printing from which I scanned. When you're really there, the density of shade is about the same in both directions. | |
| Looking south on W Indianhead Dr to the intersection with Chocksaka Nene. (That's "Nene" as in "the realtors call this area Neenie Land".) Taken with a telephoto lens so you can see the rock wall built in the triangle which forms this intersection. This is in the very center of the previous peragraph, where it looks like the street just ends. | |
| The front of the house from the end of the driveway. This really demonstrates the contrast problem: if you're there, you have no trouble seeing the house, but on camera it hides in the shadow. | |
| The front of the house from the end of the driveway. This is the center of the previous photo -- almost the full width but only about 1/5 of the height -- rescanned and manipulated to tease out a mediocre image of the house. You can at least see the general lines with the variegated brick. The original house is to the left of the current front door. Behind the front door was originally a breezeway, and behind the windows to the right was the original carport. (I think that in this style it was a carport rather than a garage, but I'm not absolutely certain. The current carport is an addition. As Melynda points out, in Indianhead Acres, garage conversion is a religion.) | |
| The front yard from the front door. There really is grass in the large area that overwhelmed the camera with sunlight, and the sunlit trees really do have normal bark, and your eye sees what the camera does not ... The house across the street is painted a bright pink, but has enough vegetation in front that you can't see it, even with real eyes. | |
| The front yard from the front door. Same photo as above, but with some processing to dim the sunlit areas -- thanks to Abby Hasty for the final result. Unfortunately the film was pretty much burned out by the sunlit areas and the color and texture have been recreated. However, some of the midrange areas show more detail in this version, so I've kept it. Overall it depicts the yard pretty well. | |
