  • Florence, Arizona Home Tour- February 2018- Black and White Photos Part 3

    December 26, 2020 /

    After 25 days of sharing the photographs I took during the Florence Home Tour in February 2018, today’s post is the last post of the black and white edited photographs and the photographs I took during the Florence Home Tour. I’m not going to miss talking about the home tour because after years of hanging onto the photographs, I’m happy to finally post them and move onto talking about other photographs, art, sewing, and DIY I took and worked on instead of focusing on writing about a home tour that happened three years ago this coming February. And so, here are the last black and white photographs of the Florence…

    After editing the photographs I took while on the Florence Historic Home Tour in Florence, Arizona, I realized I could convert the photographs I took to black and white. Some turned out better than others, but there are photographs I wanted to post on my blog. It seems like after converting the photographs I took of the Second Pinal County Courthouse, I began to have problems finding photographs that look good in black and white. At that time I had an idea to use photographs that looked more “artistic” and photograph them. It was a good idea, but I didn’t take enough photographs that would fit in that style to…

    After editing the photographs I took during the 2018 Florence Home Tour, I liked the way some of them turned out. I wanted to experiment with Photoshop and see how my photographs would look if I converted them to black and white. Since I’m so happy with the way they turned out, I decided to make a few posts about them. The first set of photographs is of the Second Pinal County Court House.

    Well, today’s post is the last photographs I took while on the Florence Home Tour in Florence, Arizona. Although I wanted to take photographs of more exhibits in the Pinal County Historical Museum, it was difficult because the time I looked at the museum coincidence with a lecture that would take place in the same room as I wanted to take photographs of. So, I took photographs of one last exhibit. The exhibit I focused on is of Victorian clothing and a coach. Although I’ve seen this exhibit plenty of times, I decided to focus on taking photographs of the clothing. There is a woman’s costume and a man’s tuxedo…

    Walking around the Pinal County Historical Museum, I found many things on display I either never saw before or haven’t seen in years. The museum has some very interesting things on display, and some not so nice things. Although this museum is known for their display of items from the Arizona State Prison that some, including myself, may find upsetting, I decided to focus on everything but those exhibits. I tried to photograph many of the exhibits, I decided to post most of the photographs of the historical clothing and accessories.

    After visiting the Florence K-8 school, I walked to the Pinal County Historical Museum. Out of all the places I visited during the 2018 tour, I took the most photographs at the museum. Because of this, the next five posts (Including this post) will be photographs I took of the museum and the exhibits.

    After walking away from Main Street, I made it to the Robles House. At the time of the home tour in 2018, the home was restored and was available to be stayed in on Airbnb. Early 2020, while searching for a potential new home, I discovered I found the house was for sale.
