Potato Cellars

For a while now I've been interested in agricultural structures, particularly potato cellars. I like the old ones that are made out of concrete, wooden poles, dirt, and concrete and/or plywood. Unfortunately they are all falling down and are being replaced by generic, prefabricated metal cellars. I've been documenting these structures off and on for a couple of years, with the biggest push coming last summer. I'm photographing them with an 8x10 camera and making palladium prints. Here are a few of my most recent (I hadn't developed 8x10 in a while so some of these are from early spring) attempts.

Darren, when I went to Utah a few weeks ago I saw tons of these in Eastern Oregon. Might be worth the trip for you.

That could be cool. My interest in them comes and goes, but I'm getting back into it.
