The Upjohn Farm
This photo and last year's 366 Snaps photo were taken three seconds apart and came out of the camera as quite similar pix. They've been cropped and processed differently....
As is my habit, these were processed mostly in Bibble Pro (now Corel Aftershot Pro, but I've not upgraded). I used the app's Andrea plugin, written by Sean Puckett, which mimics the processing of film.
The 366 Snaps photo was processed as though the film was Foma Fomapan 100 and as though the photo was printed on Kentmere VC Select. The photo above was also processed to look like Fomapan 100, but printed on Kentmere's Art Classic (pdf). As rendered by Andrea, Art Classic's a sharper-edged, higher contrast paper (I don't know these in "real life" since it's been decades since I processed my own film--and I now shoot mostly digital).
The Upjohn Farm--now labelled Zoetis, but labelled Pfizer when I took these pix--is between Kalamazoo and Richland on Gull Road. Upjohn--a Kalamazoo based pharmaceutical company--used this farm as a research facility. When Asgrow was an Upjohn product line, that division was headquartered here. (My father worked for Upjohn, but not at the farm. I did know a family that lived on the farm, from church.)
Despite several changes of hands in the past two decades, we older Kalamazoo natives seem to still think of this place by the Upjohn name.
For many years this field had cattle, who "crossed" Gull Road through a tunnel. We always thought that was neat.
==========
Stopped on 28th Street to take these photos, on my way to visit my sister in the hospital. There was an interesting sky if you pointed the camera the right direction, but none of those photographs really worked for me. So I went with photos that tried to capture some of the feel of the place.
==========
This photograph is an outtake--actually, a differently processed version of the original photo--from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.
Number of project photos taken: 15
Title of "roll:" The Upjohn Farm
Other photos taken on 7/31/2012: none.
