I want to thank Ryan at Hero Depot, Meg Thompson & June Glasson at the Wyo Art Party, and Trey Sherwood & Carly-Ann Anderson at the LDBA for making this possible.<br />
I presented work from both <a href="http://laramiemidwestrefinery.com/" target="_blank">Historically Insignificant</a> & <a href="http://bypassedbyi80.com/" target="_blank">By-Passed</a>. Including four new works that I will publish later this week.<br />
I made this series of images this morning before taking everything down. Ryan had a special event there after the show ended. I added an extra image for the wall with the worst amount of glare...<br />
As always, click on the images for a larger version.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This project started with the examination of Bosler, Wyoming. As I was researching the history of this modern ghost town; I began thinking about what caused the demise of this place, and then I became curious about the other towns along the Lincoln Highway. One question came to mind: "How many more Boslers are there?" As a part of my research on the <i>Make No Roads </i>project, I acquired a number of maps and other materials including a copy of a 1949 Rand-McNally Road Atlas. I compared this to the 2009 version, and discovered that there were a substantial number of towns that either no longer existed, or were bypassed when Interstate 80 was officially opened in 1977; (most of the highway was opened prior to 1971, but there were two minor additions added in 1977). This became the impetus for this new project. The towns I'm going to investigate will meet certain criteria; they were bypassed by the Interstate, have suffered economic <i> </i>atrophy from the same, and have seen a drastic decline in population over the past 40 years. No town with a current population over 1,000 will be scrutinized, with only two exceptions, (this will be announced later). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In addition to the towns of Sherman, Wyoming, (a.k.a. Two Rivers), and Bosler, I've begun to research and document the towns of Rock River, Medicine Bow, and many of the other forty-two towns and places.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> This house is located near the intersection for Lookout, about five miles north of Bosler. It was constructed in 1935, and it sits as a lonely sentinel watching over the traffic passing by. </span>Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169201731381029283.post-8792055822575922782014-05-22T19:16:00.002-07:002014-05-22T19:25:49.176-07:00Virginia Dale Church<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This church was rebuilt after it was burned down on November 16th, 2003 by what is termed as a "<a href="http://www.northfortynews.com/Archive/A200405arsonist.htm" target="_blank">vanity arsonist</a>". It was a 20-year old firefighter who set the church afire in hopes of becoming recognized as a hero. Church and community members rebuilt the church and it reopened on June 27th, 2004. This local landmark has been here since 1880; and they still have services every second Sunday of the month.

More to come about the new project! Stay tuned....Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169201731381029283.post-19186122348268099982014-01-10T09:30:00.001-08:002014-05-31T05:22:42.512-07:00Bosler, Wyoming<div class="MsoNormal">
The town of Bosler, Wyoming was one of the many victims of
the modernization of America. Similar to other small towns that dotted the
landscape of the American West in the early to mid-twentieth century, this town
all but disappeared when the Interstate Highway system was completed and
by-passed the town twenty miles to the south. The town’s Post Office was
incorporated on May 3rd, 1900, and closed sometime in the mid-1980’s.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bosler was originally a rail stop for the ranch concerns of
the Bosler family, who owned two ranches and other businesses in the area.
According to the 1940 U.S. Census, the town boasted a total of 264 souls; had a
garage, two motels, and a handful of other business concerns.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The town’s population has dwindled to its current residency
of less than ten. Only one commercial business remains: Doc’s Western Village.
It’s primarily a furniture outlet, and most people driving through would assume
it to be closed, given the signage hasn’t been updated in over twenty years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This town is an example of what has been left behind in the
name of progress. This is a place where people lived, enjoyed a livelihood and
raised families. A place where people knew each other; attended Saturday night
dances, and Sunday morning church services. Today, it’s nothing more than a disappearing
dot on a map. The one remaining store was converted from one of the motels, the
other motel had no indoor plumbing. It had four cabins along with a his and her
outhouse. It stands as a sculpture of buildings weathered and beaten by time;
how much longer they will remain standing is anyone’s guess.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve often travelled through towns like this, and
questioned; who thought this place would be good for some defined or undefined
purpose? What was the attraction? Why did this place begin to fade? What caused
its demise? Economic conditions? Environmental concerns? Were the local
resources exhausted? Where did the people who occupied this space go? Did they
die? Move on? When did they leave? Have they ever come back to see what they
left behind?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I seek answers to these questions, and I only wish to
capture the remains of the structures before they disappear. I also yearn to
find beauty in the desertion, desolation, and dilapidation of what has been
left behind in the isolated and forgotten places such as this.<br />

I'm still working on the Laramie Midwest Refinery project, and have started a new web site/blog specifically for it. It can be found at <a href="http://laramiemidwestrefinery.com/">laramiemidwestrefinery.com</a> Unlike this blog, the refinery web site will be site-specific, and will include much more information than I've already posted here. It's also laid out differently than this site, in that there are specific pages for not only portions of the property, but pages that will have most of the research I've conducted.
Happy New Year!

This takes up an entire wall - about 30 feet across. The actual size of the print for this one is 66", (5.5' wide).

I have been photographing and documenting all around the site, but have been focusing most of my attention on the southern end of the property including up to the fence line that borders the site. It is interesting to note that there has been recent graffiti added to the stills, since the LRCD has put up their fence, no less. I've included two images of the recent vandalism. However, I'll start with an interesting image that I shot in late July.

I want to thank Paul Harrison, Mike Zook, and the rest of the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Laramie, along with Larry Ostresh and Jerry Hanson and the Laramie Railroad Depot Association for their help and support for this project. I also want to thank everyone who loaned me the floodlights - this might have looked a little weird with just the lights inside the train.<br />
For those who are unaware, the park is lined on the east side by old and tall trees. Further, there is only only one streetlight across the street, the effect of which is seen on the fence near the boiler, (blueish light). This image is slightly altered; I "removed" the graffiti, and the expanding foam from the engine.<br />

A little technical information: I used fourteen light fixtures inside the train, plus one in front for the headlamp. I used six 2x 500-watt worklights outside to light the scene.Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0600-698 S 1st St, Laramie, WY 82070, USA41.307422956720906 -105.5963802337646541.307050456720908 -105.59699723376465 41.3077954567209 -105.59576323376464tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169201731381029283.post-88909558421749437192012-03-09T11:15:00.000-08:002012-03-09T11:15:02.022-08:00Below are five more images from the refinery project.Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169201731381029283.post-40856652711361940382012-03-09T11:12:00.000-08:002012-03-09T11:13:19.631-08:00New images from the Refinery<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

School has started again, my first solo exhibition, and two projects running concurrently. As I mentioned last week, I've got my first solo exhibition that runs through the end of February at The Cavalryman Restaurant here in Laramie; make your reservations for Valentines Day! I'm still working on The Civic Center project; I'll be posting more soon. But, I've got another exciting project in the works - the old Midwest/Standard refinery on North Cedar Street. The Laramie Rivers Conservation District, (LRCD), recently purchased the property and are planning to clean up the site. I want to take this opportunity to thank Tony Hoch, and the LRCD for allowing me to access and document the site as it sits today, and through the renovation/reclamation process. For more information about the LRCD, visit their web site at : http://www.lrcd.net <br />
The following six images are from my initial visits to the site. The first is probably one of the most familiar views, as anyone who has driven by knows. The second, third, fourth, and fifth are images taken inside the large green structure on the second floor. The last image is of one of the larger, intact structures on the property.Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169201731381029283.post-57556418736777540982012-02-06T19:36:00.001-08:002012-02-06T20:00:06.367-08:00Midwest/Standard Refinery<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I've already started to receive stories, and they will be archived and included in the final presentation. I will have a number of the images that I've already posted here, and a few new images next Saturday, December 3rd, during the Holiday Festival at the Laramie Plains Civic Center, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Also a reminder, if you have any stories you'd like to share, please email them to me at: lpccstories@docspix.com.Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169201731381029283.post-90735370397447763102011-11-21T01:39:00.001-08:002011-11-21T02:56:23.310-08:00Theatre MuralsOne of the treasures of the Civic Center are the murals that hang in the theatre. Created by Florence Ellen Ware, (1891-1971), these murals were added in 1929. according to the LPCC web site, these paintings tell the story of the western world, specifically of Laramie and the surrounding area. The first is titled "The Explorers", which has depictions of Ferdinand and Isabella, (the Monarchs who ruled Spain), notable explorers including Lewis and Clark, their guide Sacagawea; Jim Bridger, and Jacques LaRamie. The second, (titled "Pioneers"), is set near Chimney Rock, with depictions of prospectors panning for gold, and settlers who traveled the Oregon trail. The third mural, (in the upper balcony); depicts a stagecoach and a Pony Express rider which where the predecessors to the Union Pacific Railroad. The fourth mural, tilted "Cowboys", (also upstairs), shows a group of of Native Americans, and cowboys on the plains near Laramie.
There is also a pair of murals that are underneath the balcony; the first is titled "Homemakers", and depicts a mother and child around a log cabin home. The second, (titled 1878 -1930), celebrates the original schoolhouse, and the achievements of the era; being the locomotive, steamship, motor vehicle, and the airplane.

As mentioned in a previous post, this was last used as a music room. It now sits mostly empty and gutted, with the only indication of its last use being a set of decals on a closet door. There are a few items of interest, such as a ladder, a pile of sandstones, a concrete riser, and the wooden closet door. Even with the absence of a ceiling, lighting, and a couple of window panes, this is one of the more interesting rooms in the building.

I've been told that the pool was built and never used because the drain was below the existing sewer grade at the time, (circa 1926). A number of items pretty much confirm this story to be true; there are several splinters embedded in the walls where the forms were placed to pour the concrete into. There are several drains around the perimeter of the pool; the walls are all stained from (presumably), back-flow from the storm sewer. In the first image below, there is a large pile of debris; this has a combination of twigs, roofing material, and glass from the skylight above. <br />I will be posting more of the pool in the future, including close-up detail images of the artworks,(graffiti) contained in the room. Along with more information and details of the various debris found here. <br /><br />A view looking towards the deep end: <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7iZhpmGWlPtgF7H1W22zJgXiBeNIB10aFDpOxThzTFonbKNzKlQt0oyhwruN0B6_wYoGIdJnYjTKmDQi8-FxRkaXDmcCYWF8QN9djRYZfWRrMr9EG_LW24cEhJg3sMXv-tKJYnF2PzE/s1600/poolwiden_7986.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7iZhpmGWlPtgF7H1W22zJgXiBeNIB10aFDpOxThzTFonbKNzKlQt0oyhwruN0B6_wYoGIdJnYjTKmDQi8-FxRkaXDmcCYWF8QN9djRYZfWRrMr9EG_LW24cEhJg3sMXv-tKJYnF2PzE/s400/poolwiden_7986.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669848252831859218" /></a><br />Elmers Glue-All and skylight pieces:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfXXqVRsiP2RmRjDugN4HSRVwBq7oTsfxXuyPuW6WpJRuSpJc4zh6XQzF18sjbnhczUn_Ula6JbaBQwWaF3oEDzvIf8mpljfvoZeZ11f9scVUDg8X51mP_J9GuMIowtWp4b1-Zylpd5s/s1600/gluejug_7984.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfXXqVRsiP2RmRjDugN4HSRVwBq7oTsfxXuyPuW6WpJRuSpJc4zh6XQzF18sjbnhczUn_Ula6JbaBQwWaF3oEDzvIf8mpljfvoZeZ11f9scVUDg8X51mP_J9GuMIowtWp4b1-Zylpd5s/s400/gluejug_7984.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669847796167246258" /></a><br />In the upper left corner is one of the splinters.

There are some parts of the building which do not have any lights, and have very little in the way of ambient sunlight. Although, I generally try to work with natural and existing lighting, I found that I had to add my own for the pool room. I have been told that the pool was never used because of potential drainage problems, (the pool drain was lower than the sewer). It nonetheless looks like it was a favorite location for graffiti artists. I will be posting more detailed images of the various paintings that are on the walls of this room - both in and out of the pool. <br />Be advised: If you are easily offended by certain words, you may want to skip the next ten images. <br /><br />Sink in basement:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jdpOoRwp8aNAiPOSQvvIajp_PlAQxQiCI0KAAJ_WiknavHir0hF4Fj3vChKrNg4rjHBJ4HTkvS_nGhLg_eH9AWKLqiOCCpa0M6QBhPgAeYS1XZI2iaN5wRfEtUCTf96NCQ1UrEijVt4/s1600/sinkmoP_wm_7177.jpg"><img style="display:block;

the Laramie Plains Civic Center, located at 710 Garfield Street. For the uninitiated, this building is a labyrinth all unto itself. Originally built in 1878, it was the first school building in the state of Wyoming, and was known as the East Side School. It had two major additions; one in 1928-29; the second was a part of the WPA, (Works Projects Administration) in 1938-39. The building served as the senior high school for the city of Laramie until a new high school was opened in 1959. It then served as the junior high school until the mid-seventies. It was added the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Over the course of the last few years, the building has been undergoing an extensive restoration and renovation project.<br />This project is intended to provide a comprehensive documentary of the current state, and current uses of the building, as well as document the renovation as it proceeds. <br />I've been fortunate enough to have been granted access to the areas of the building that have been,(and continue to be) unavailable to the public for a number of years. I want to extend a heartfelt "Thank you" to Alec, Rebecca, David, Harold and the rest of the staff at LPCC for all of their assistance with this project. <br />-Doc<br /><br />For more information on the LPCC: <a href="http://laramieplainsciviccenter.org">http://laramieplainsciviccenter.org</a><br /><br />If anyone has a story or two to share about LPCC when it was still in use as a school, (LJHS or LHS), or even an interesting ghost story - Halloween is just around the corner! - please email them to lpccstories@docspix.com I'll include them in the final presentation/exhibition. And, no. I don't have a date yet. I'm not certain exactly how long this project is going to take; I'm expecting six to twelve months. <br /><br />Below are some of the early images from this project. <br /> <br />The cornerstone at the north entrance, (street view):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5f1rKMi5Ydw20xBpZeNqHXTEoeIfNHumI6nE2j9oboX6CRdWCLKUcixZc8KibbdzZWnlF9igLqA7g55_tKdLnMUulL0JCQHJJk-WwxMou_HXVefNYMKFNT8syh7lOiBnXLP_IJ8XMWw0/s1600/LHSCorner_7119.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5f1rKMi5Ydw20xBpZeNqHXTEoeIfNHumI6nE2j9oboX6CRdWCLKUcixZc8KibbdzZWnlF9igLqA7g55_tKdLnMUulL0JCQHJJk-WwxMou_HXVefNYMKFNT8syh7lOiBnXLP_IJ8XMWw0/s400/LHSCorner_7119.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664600546103987874" /></a><br />The date on the cornerstone: <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0BYicaFlHOP8qNS_vYXMtkxrXqllSbobMkg-M0AaIaZ60x2rU81ntXdObC4pvBFAo1fqvffWZYulmMmx2SErOWISqmgEjtQohFT3_1KEZPXjSHmX6gyiEiHHdlYLmrCDy0xiQ-ZMAFE/s1600/Cornerstone1929_7113.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0BYicaFlHOP8qNS_vYXMtkxrXqllSbobMkg-M0AaIaZ60x2rU81ntXdObC4pvBFAo1fqvffWZYulmMmx2SErOWISqmgEjtQohFT3_1KEZPXjSHmX6gyiEiHHdlYLmrCDy0xiQ-ZMAFE/s400/Cornerstone1929_7113.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664600908084936402" /></a><br />Note: I will be looking for the original cornerstone from 1878, if it still exists. <br />This building holds significant historical value: <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpdx1eKghRS5vQcgWrQ_jaItvtfXbSQ7Z7wu2TehXz1n8uggbwpy6P1pk50WddgadgWKd-FweOIKYYVGlOjvDqNTaI-McAq_YAX5MGECqSNiI0xq0b5_tIkwviJI2xeEnBDhA2yqMrEww/s1600/WPA_Plaq_6816.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpdx1eKghRS5vQcgWrQ_jaItvtfXbSQ7Z7wu2TehXz1n8uggbwpy6P1pk50WddgadgWKd-FweOIKYYVGlOjvDqNTaI-McAq_YAX5MGECqSNiI0xq0b5_tIkwviJI2xeEnBDhA2yqMrEww/s400/WPA_Plaq_6816.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664600186317759586" /></a><br />The south entrance was added on to in 1938-39:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1S72BkLpEGsffsum2SvAgs8o0GBZG4NSNReaiVEzrwqmgbh5k-3U-Y0O9wKBnx3AhIrsKKXO_wlQ762oj8jjS6kNjFgykWEIL4_g_5ch0pb9MXIK1PMqSddD1cZ3Xsy2A71ncLEF5W_c/s1600/LHS_Plaque_6236.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1S72BkLpEGsffsum2SvAgs8o0GBZG4NSNReaiVEzrwqmgbh5k-3U-Y0O9wKBnx3AhIrsKKXO_wlQ762oj8jjS6kNjFgykWEIL4_g_5ch0pb9MXIK1PMqSddD1cZ3Xsy2A71ncLEF5W_c/s400/LHS_Plaque_6236.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664599894249573570" /></a><br />Theatre:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOW-QsQ-6w1ydEfZ_9UzBy8bFolqkUT2LG-zs9J-A25WIZJpjbMTFlIUQhZUmbG6cJCmhErNFwtupGHDDZFTygEtQSUhqlDRHiuHE6UEZK6q0t5qjQHvGaYjcQFS7yeRxF0oyrZFQPBU/s1600/Theatre2_6562.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOW-QsQ-6w1ydEfZ_9UzBy8bFolqkUT2LG-zs9J-A25WIZJpjbMTFlIUQhZUmbG6cJCmhErNFwtupGHDDZFTygEtQSUhqlDRHiuHE6UEZK6q0t5qjQHvGaYjcQFS7yeRxF0oyrZFQPBU/s400/Theatre2_6562.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664599441341859266" /></a><br />Stage Right:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmPpIj-07b3dyqDD9g4CNubNoAI-us1Ys998jKXTs-rGg6Oo5V5LpZrmYSlHgXr_8r4ntxGuIxjwxjtPZNi2o8bNkPCkox00B86zIQcZf1Q-c9mvlDcGIUHbSnwwVhW99clTFlv88Oeak/s1600/Stageright16723.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmPpIj-07b3dyqDD9g4CNubNoAI-us1Ys998jKXTs-rGg6Oo5V5LpZrmYSlHgXr_8r4ntxGuIxjwxjtPZNi2o8bNkPCkox00B86zIQcZf1Q-c9mvlDcGIUHbSnwwVhW99clTFlv88Oeak/s400/Stageright16723.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664599245854062018" /></a>Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05706205073200522464noreply@blogger.com0
