faded glory

As my stash of beloved Polaroid films dwindles, I've been trying to enjoy shooting interesting places and people, and came across a crazy old mansion a couple of weeks ago that really demanded attention. "El Castile," or the Waggoner Mansion of Decatur, Texas, is apparently still occupied, but you couldn't necessarily tell that by looking.

Behold the last photo I will ever take using the beautiful Type 85 Polaroid film...

And here are some other photographs of this rather magical, out-of-time place:

Thanks for looking! I have not added these to my Etsy shop, but if you'd like a print, please let me know and we can make it happen!
