Black and White (Retro) Photographs By Garry DeLong Click on the links in the captions for an enlarged version of each photo.

Until about 1970, most of my work was in black and white.  I did all my own darkroom work.  Recently I was able to recover many of these negatives.  A few of these photographs are presented  below.

A wood scrap burner at a deserted sawmill in Eugene, Oregon.  This photo was taken from inside the burner looking up.  The long rectangular object near the top of the photo supported the conveyor belt that transported scrap to the burner.  The use of these burners are now outlawed by air quality regulations.
