Bad Photography Weekend: Keystone

As I was walking around the Keystone College campus in Factoryville recently, I was looking for "the shot."  In other words, the picture that defines Keystone, a picture that people will instantly recognize.  I realized that Keystone doesn't have one of those.  It's a nice campus, and it appears to be a great place to go to school.  As far as an instantlyidentifyable building, I don't think the campus has one, and that doesn't make it a bad place.

Above is Harris Hall, a building constructed in 1870, and it's a lovely structure.

Notice, I said "Factoryville" in the first paragraph today.  Most of the campus is in Factoryville, but Keystone bills itself as being in LaPlume.  I think Factoryville sounds quaint and small town America.  The marketing people apparently disagree.  They think Factoryville conjures up images of dirty, grimey streets and buildings.  If you've ever been there, you know that isn't true.  The key is to get people to visit, and you have to get people in town first, and they think LaPlume is the way to do it.  So be it.

Before we hit "save" for the day, another view of Nokomis Creek, just behind Keystone's Factoryvillle/LaPlume campus.

Enjoy, and have a happy and safe Independence Day weekend.
