Take Home activity: Go Behind the Lens!

You too can be like Frances Benjamin Johnston.  Look around your own community for unique structures with interesting architectural details.  An old barn, a house that is falling apart, ruins, an old staircase – these are the architectural gems that Johnston searched for and preserved in her photographic surveys. 

Take photographs of structures both grand and humble – what Johnston called “primitives.” Send them to PAWV and we will publish them on our website as part of the online exhibit.

Email photographs to: [email protected]
​

Please include the location and name of photographer so photo credit can be given.
