From Lewis and Clark lookout over in CB to an old tagged up train bridge down in Papillion, the last week or so has been quite the ride. Here’s some photos for a recap.
Month: January 2016
Driving.
I really enjoy hopping in the car, throwing a playlist on shuffle, and riding around.
McFoster’s Natural Kind Cafe
Driving down Farnam today, I saw the Johnson Deconstruction sign outside of the old McFoster’s Natural Kind Cafe. I hit up Aubri, whose brother owns the deconstruction company, to see if I could take some pictures for them. We set up a time later in the day for me to come out and get my hard hat on so I could capture a neat story.
Walking through the old building she told me about the history of what the cafe was all about, the people who frequented it, and what went on there. All the wood being taken from McFoster’s and the houses next door will be used at Reclaimed Enterprises, a company specializing in re-utilizing old wood for new constructions. It adds a vintage feel, and is better in the long run for the environment. I captured some great images, and hope to get some more of different deconstruction sites around town. Thanks to Aubri for touring me around and giving me the low down on a fantastic piece of Omaha history.
Kansas City Photo Trip
I decided a few weeks ago to hit up my cousin who also happens to be a photographer down in Kansas City. We set up a weekend for Jabaree, Matt, and I to come down and see all that KC has to offer. After packing up following work on Friday, we hit the road and started the journey. We hit up a few cityscape photo ops that night, and headed out all over town the next day. From abandoned churches to antique shops, we tried to see as much as we could with the daylight we had. I have to say it was one of the most productive days of photos I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to get back down there and explore some more!
