These are the b&w photos I developed and scanned yesterday. I added the sepia tone afterward, but left in all the dust flecks to lend and illusion of age. This is a canal lock in Tipp City from the old Miami-Erie Canal that connected Lake Erie by Toledo with the Ohio River down in Cincy. Mysterious remnants of this old cross-Ohio throughfare sprinkle length, including many leftovers here in Troy. North of Piqua is a town called Lockington, where a string of eight or so locks took the canal up a hill. North of there is another itty-bitty little town called Lock Two. It just fascinates me to no end.

That is a fascinating place, particularly in sepia. Don't you just want to make a film there?
Oh, I'd love to film a scene there. It's a popular spot for local bands to have their photos taken. There's another somewhat well-intact lock in Huber Heights, between Tipp and Dayton, stuck a bit more in the woods.
