Choopius: thats when the photographer was
born.
Great shot - and a great effort by the LOC
to put these photos up here (this is the
first one I opened).

I was going to say, that seems like too good
a color process for 1913. However, it is an
excellent photo of a place I know well and
love dearly.

From: The American Image: The Photographs of John
Collier Jr, University of New Mexico.
"In 1941 to 1943, Collier worked as a
photographer with the Farm Securities
Administration and the Office of War
Information under Roy Stryker and documented
many areas around the eastern U.S and
northern New Mexico."

This is why I will never get rid of my old
Pentax ME Super and K1000. Slide film still
is tough to beat. If, of course, the shot is
on the money.

i grew up in this area and this image
captures the sense of the gently rolling
landscape and the way buildings fit
definitively and appropriately into the
landscape.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think the color looks
pretty good for 1943, too.

this here in the Catskills today.

I have always lived in this area and what
strikes me is how nice it is to see no power
lines!

I was wondering if this was John Collier as
in John Collier of the BIA--I never knew
about his son before. Thanks so much for the
link, Greenpeace Doug!

sylvieatd - close, but no cigar. You've put
it on top of a gas station or similar :-) I'm
guessing it's more like Route 30 between
Margaretville and North Blenheim NY, or maybe
Route 10 between Walton and Stamford.

What's amazing is how similar this area looks
today - I photograph landscapes all over the
Hudson Valley and it's extraordinary!

and 80s! Just beautiful!

It would appear John Colier died in 1992,
assuming he's the same "John Collier
Jr" I found here:
www.flickr.com/people/johncollierjr/
www.iwf.de/va-origins/biograph/coll_2.htm
americanimage.unm.edu/biography.html
*thus the byline should read:
Collier, John, Jr., 1913-1992,
photographer.

This barn looks old even in 1943 - wonder
when it was built?

dmalantic - any guess as to where this one
is? I've driven by many such, but remember
the location of only one or two in farm
country just west of the Catskills.

Great example of a bank barn -- build into a
hillside so that there are grade-level
entrances on two different levels of the
building.

I grew up in Stamford NY "Queen of the
Catskills". This looks like a barn on
Route 10 going from Stamford to Hobart - on
the left hand side of the road - just past
the Brooks farm. I believe it was once owned
by the Tullys. Maybe it was Tooleys

Derby City - glad to hear that confirmation
of my fuzzy memory. That's not far from here,
so I hope to drive over and get a Spring 2008
shot of it.

Do you live near there now, child of the 50s?
I'm also thinking it might be the Churchill
barn on Churchill Rd between Taylor Rd and
Peck Street. My nephew has just visited me
and told me that barn has been renovated and
is now a beautiful home.

Derby - I'm in Woodstock, 60 or 70 miles from
that part of Route 10. I'll jot down your
notes and stick them in my camera bag for a
future day of exploration. .... Lew
