Roaming around Corning

More photos taken with my iPad Mini. The first two and the last photo were taken using the Hipstamatic App. Also, on the last photo, I used my iPhoto editing capabilities and changed the coloring to sepia.

The first photo, above, is yet another shot of the Benjamin Patterson Inn on Pulteney Street. I never tire of taking photos there and when my son is next in town, I plan to drag him there to join me (and further instruct me) in taking photos of the inn, the log cabin and other areas of the property with Hipstamatic (which he has on his iPhone).


East Market Street used to continue on past Wall Street. Now it stops there and can be continued on foot or, as in this case, on bicycles, past the Radisson Hotel, the Social Security Offices, the Southeast Steuben County Library and the city skating rink.


Delicate little roses outside the Radisson...


Facing west you can see the corner of Wall and Market Streets...


There's been a barber shop on Market Street in this spot for a long, long time. Reasonable prices and friendly banter. Like many other establishments on the street, they offer free access to their WiFi. I given you a link that will give you a bit of history on the shop.

Simply Sepia and Two Firemen

Clayton is a Corning mailman and a talented photographer. I noticed that he recently did an excellent photo of our older post office building in sepia (a brownish pigment) which made for an intriguing variation from typical color photos.

I liked Clayton's work so much that I decided to try out an entire post of sepia photos, in no particular order and for your viewing pleasure...
