Butch the Formstoner

I just completed a little photo essay about the dying art of Formstone. Unless you live in or have visited Baltimore it is likely that you do not know what formstone is.

I loved the first portrait. I wish I could get my bw to look that authentic. Your photo essay made me homesick. I grew up in the Baltimore area, and moved out of MD for the first time 4 weeks ago. Thanks for sharing.
