DescriptionWatts Festival Next door to the Towers of Simon Rodia Allows an Ascension of Another Kind.jpg	English: Taken the same day as the photographs of the Towers of Simon Rodia, just a few hundred feet away, was the mechanical, moving equivalent of the Towers for all to ride to get that same sense of flight and escape as Simon Rodia no doubt experienced as he built his Towers. This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 77000297.

The original photograph was taken with a 35 mm film camera, the SLR Pentax Spotmatic using a fish-eye lens adaptor made by Takumar. Film was Kodak Panatomic X black and white, developed in my own darkroom and the original prints were done on Kodak Polycontrast N Paper at 8 x 8 inches. I still have those on file. Much of my earlier work with film has been digitalized since 2010 using an Epson Perfection 700 Photo Scanner. This digital image is from a high resolution scan done of an 8 x 8 inch print. The digital image was not manipulated in any way other than to touch up some larger dust or scratched surface defects.
