Water Tower

My favorite time to be in the brewery was sunrise. That’s the kind of light that made the brewhouse glow.

A super-long exposure of the side of the middle of Daisy Elevator, built in 1927. The oldest silos are closest to the mill and date to 1916. They were expanded toward Superior in 1927 and 1941. The total capacity is about 500,000 bushels.

Halfway up the coal conveyor, covered in coal dust… black streaks of snot. Starting to get good.

The sun was setting outside, highlighting the textures and lines that made the form of the power plant take a fourth dimension–time.

The side of a launcher, with outbuildings in the background. You can see the tracks where the roof would open before launch.

I revisited the mill years after my documentary. Now it is even more destroyed and surrounded by new fences.

Too big to be scrapped, to simple to be auctioned. It waited for the demo crews and demo cranes to arrive.

The bricks routinely fell from the walls, like seeds falling from trees. On a smaller scale, new walls grew from the floors.

“Place Tripod Here” my friends would say. But for me, it’s the money shot. Note the painting around the inside of the skylight.
