Here are some recent photos from my petrified wood project. Leroy and his wife have lived in this bungalow, in west Fort Worth, for 30 years. It's a classic example of how petrified wood, fossils and similar materials were incorporated into rock masonry when this style of building was popular. Most of these homes and buildings are quite modest. Leroys, tho', features several large fossils and some colorful rocks that may be petrified burled wood - a new type to me which I'll have to research further.

As a bonus, Leroy's home overlooks a less modest example of such a structure, one sporting a castle-like turret! Another reason why I love this project.

All photos: OM-1, Fuji Superia X-tra 800, Vivitar Series 1 28-90/2.8-3.5 varifocal or Zuiko 75-150/4 zoom.

I generally try to shoot photos for this project on Kodachrome or other slide film, but it was early evening when I met Leroy and switched to Superia X-tra for the little ambient light remaining. I'll go back to reshoot now that the weather has cooled off.
