(The depot album starts here:<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne- Roshak/Buildings/Demolished+Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/ 19680210_MR_EMKE_NWD1A_2.jpg.html>) I loved this station. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Buildi ngs/Demolished+Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/19680206_ MR_EMKE_NWD1_19N.jpg.html> My friends and I used to sneak inside. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Buildi ngs/Demolished+Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/19680206_MR_ARCH_NWD1_8.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/19680206_MR_ARCH_NWD1_8.jpg.html> > <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Buildi ngs/Demolished+Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/19680317_ MR_ARCH_NWD4_12.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Buildi ngs/Demolished+Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/19680227_ TP_ARCH_NWD2_3N.jpg.html> This sequence of the tower was from one blow of the wrecking ball (and shot with a thumb-wind Pentax H3v). First one + six more. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Buildi ngs/Demolished+Buildings/Northwestern+Depot/19680508_ MR_EMKE_NWD24_13.jpg.html> I eventually shot 24 rolls of B&W, some slides, and a few Stereo Realist pictures of the building, and have three pieces of the terra cotta decoration in my basement. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
