    I didn't realize that glass negatives could have such short shutter speeds- appears to have completely stopped motion, here.

    Haystacks with fences? Dairy farm?
  • artpease said:
    My question exactly about those haystacks. Probably for beef cattle. Not sure why the fences around the stacks, as all the fields themselves seem to be fenced.
  • artpease said:
    Oops! I see that there are several haystacks within one fenced field.
  • pgcosmin said:
    The fences were protecting the hay while the cattle grazed there. The hay was for winter time.
  • Zsofia Nagy said:
    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called HAYSTACKS, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

The Center of Population of U.S. [man standing next to memorial stone] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Eric Schmeric said:
    This would be a perfect picture to geotag. You have the geographic coordinates right there in the photo!
  • Master Bob said:
    The location on Google Maps. According to the memorial stone itself, the stone was erected July 20, 1911. As such it seems that it would be pretty safe to assume the photo was taken after that date. Though it may be wrong.
  • Wystan said:
    According to the 1910 Census, Bloomington, Indiana, had become the new population center of the USA. Another Bain/LOC photo on this subject shows Prof. Wilbur A. Cogshall of Indiana University at Bloomington, who had pinpointed the location: New York Times story, July 22, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9A03E...
