My instructor actually asked me if I had any interest in re-photgraphing 
some of these areas over time to document the changes, trying to 
duplicate the time of day and position each time. In some cases this is 
already impossible due to changes in the landscape once the earth-movers 
got to work.

Sorry about the grey pictures, they were taken on a very overcast day, 
and this series of photos was the first time I've used Photoshop 
Elements (or any flavor of PS for that matter), and I don't yet know how 
to use most of it. Even though I'm very comfortable with computers in 
general (most of my computers have been running Linux, FreeBSD or NetBSD 
for years) PS does not come naturally to me, so I'm still at a stage 
that I'd rather be in a darkroom dodging and burning with scraps of 
cardboard and construction paper.

Glenn, some photos (mostly not the ones with snow) come out a little

What I like is the clear message from the whole series. These are the
sort of documentary pictures which should be stored for future
generations so then can look back how the landscape was changed.

I put together a collection of 21 photos I took this fall for a 
photography class at the local community college. Unfortunately, I don't

have a flatbed scanner set up right now to scan the prints I made in 
class, so scans of the negatives are the best I can do for now. Comments

and constructive criticism are welcome.
