A now-closed dry-cleaning plant in Plainfield, NJ, G.O. Keller is just standing there, waiting for demolition and development. They had operated for 130 years since 1894 in the same location. The plant is slated for redevelopment into a mixed-use facility, as it is only a block from the lovely Netherwood Train Station.
There are such nice textures at this site.
The photos were taken with a Voigtlander Bessa-R Rangefinder camera made in the 90’s with a similar vintage Norton f/1.5 Aspherical lens. The other set taken with the Olympus XA is Here
Wonderful black and white subjects at this place with their many decades of use. Especially the frosted windows, which are acid etched with a lovely pattern, not just matte. I will have to go back over there and get some details of them. It’s only 2 miles from me.
While interesting in color with its beige bricks, there’s much to like here in black and white.
These images and a bunch of others were taken for a Zine published n 2025 by The Photo Zine Collective at https://photozinecollective.wordpress.com/2024/09/21/next-collective-zine-opaque/. The last one done was called AMBIGUOUS. Both this one, OPAQUE, and the last one have topics that are a bit……odd. I am participating in OPAQUE and the following photos are taken for that publication. When I signed up for participation, the one stipulation is that all the photos in the Zine had to be taken with the same film: Rollei Retro 400S.
