July 20, 1969: One Giant Leap For Mankind, The Apollo Mission
It seems serendipitous that I just finished my re-visioning of the photo of Buzz Aldrin by Neil Armstrong standing on the moon – for my What is Past is Prologue project on the 47th anniversary of the Apollo moon mission.
Check back soon, there are other pieces in the queue that are near completion for the What is Past is Prologue series.
Cranfield House
Sometimes you are in just the right place with a camera and at other times you have your camera and the door of an abandoned house is unlocked.
Cranfield House was was built some time between 1902 & 1913 (the records are murky), and was once the ornate home of William Harris, the founder of W. Harris and Co. that made fertilizers and glues from animal carcasses and the factory was in part “staffed” by inmates of Toronto’s Don Jail. In 1930 the house was sold to the Salvation Army and became Bethany House, a home for pregnant teenagers. In 2013, Cranfield House was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and is as of writing undergoing modest renovations to be retrofitted for condominium use.
