Ladora, Iowa on a windy, cold night in early December. Driving back from my trip to see the David Plowden photography exhibit up in West Branch, I decided to take Highway 6 from the Amana colonies to Highway 21, which I then took south to Ottumwa. Both highways were full of the very types of towns and objects that I enjoy photographing. In fact, Ladora had been photographed by Plowden some 25-30 years earlier, as one of the prints in the exhibit had testified. This is a view of the main street, with an auto repair shop in the foreground, charmingly advertised by a quaint neon sign, and an old high school building in the background, now apparently serving as a bistro.
