3 ACs
If this church/parsonage combination were still in operation, it would be plenty cool in the summer.
(When I was a kid, we had these kind of air conditioners, which work by drawing air across water-dampened pads. They have a particular smell when they come on that I will forever associate with my childhood home on 28th Street.)

Hours grow shorter
The setting sun, lighting the front of the old church, with the afternoon’s storm cloud moving ever further away.

Family portrait
I’m not intending to be sacrilegious, but it is a family portrait.

Font + candles
When I use my phone to make a photo and I get a result like this, I sort of wonder why I even bother with the other “real” camera…

the mechanics of the thing
My dad was a civil engineer, which meant that I was exposed to hearing about how things worked throughout my life. (Once, as we were pulling out of the driveway to go see my grandpa, I asked what pre-stressed concrete was. An hour later, when we arrived, he was just concluding Part One: Introduction to Concrete.) Probably because of a combination of hearing things like that from my dad and the fact that our brains were wired similarly (except for the part about how he was an engineer and that calculus made me need to lie down), I am always interested in looking at the details in any setting. I like knowing what sort of minutiae matter to the people who use the place and seeing what kinds of things are needed to keep it going.
And so I was happy to be able to see these things, the ones that mattered.
