Coming back from a photographic camping trip to the rolling wheat fields of the Palouse region of southeastern Washington, I found myself driving through miles of the much less lovely drylands country of the south central part of Coming back from a photographic camping trip to the rolling wheat fields of the Palouse region of southeastern Washington, I found myself driving through miles of the much less lovely drylands country of the south central part of the state. After miles of bedraggled little towns and tumbleweeds, I came to the aptly-named community of Dusty, where I found this quaint store inhabiting an old Quonset hut. I could not resist a shot with my 1928 No. 1 Kodak; this was taken at f/22 on Kodak XP-2. Once again, the Anastigmat lens demonstrates its sharpness and ability to reproduce delicate tonal nuances.
Note: “The Dustry Country Store” is now featured on the Palouse Scenic Byway web site; see http://www.palousescenicbyway.com/default.asp?PageID=17.
I would like to ask permission to use your photo of the Dusty Country Store on our website. Dusty has not provided me with any recent photos, so all we currently have is a shot of the public restrooms – ugh! I would be happy to give you photo credit. I would also be interested in any photos you have taken of the Palouse for our gallery.
Please let me know!
Warmly,
Vicki
