An all-but-abandoned farmhouse on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Many of the farms on the shore have been bought up by large corporations, and are farmed “remotely” while others are sold for residential and commercial development. The days of the tenant farmer and Maryland’s agricultural heritage dwindle.

No Signal
I took my mother to the Verizon store near her house to get her “new” iPhone SE 3 set up. She was having a lot of problems with her aging iPhone 7. The reason for replacing an old phone with a slightly less old phone is that the iPhone SE 3 is the last phone Apple made with a physical button on the face (that button has been replaced with a swipe motion that she can’t manage. I’m sure she’s not the only one). While we were having lunch, Verizon suffered a major network outage.
On my drive home, I passed by this long-abandoned telephone microwave tower. There’s no signal there. -
Eastern Shore Farmhouse On A Rainy Saturday Morning
This picture was taken with the Instax Mini EVO while driving by in the rain — there was no traffic ahead or behind and I stopped, so it was a safe shot! Had the wrong settings on the camera though, so touched it up a bit in Apple Photos on the MacBook Pro.
I also tried a couple of “direct prints” of the edited image using the app on my phone, one using the “rich” mode, and the other using the “natural” mode. As I expected, the printed versions aren’t as “good” as the the one that was edited directly off the SD card, but the printed versions have their own charm.
