Update: Meeting Dale Graham
Hey, Gang!
Instead of posting to my own blog (which is frequented by my grandmother and other folks not privy to the photo world), thought I'd touch base and tell you what's happening with my final project...
Upon David R.'s guidance, I contacted a photographer named Dale Graham. He worked as a pharmacist most of his life before turning to photography. Now, one of his pieces ("Windmill on the Prarie") hangs in the Museum of Modern Art. He lives in Fayette, Mo., with his wife Maureen. He still shoots and uses 2 1/4 square and 4x5 film.
He's agreed to meet me in "Downtown" Fayette on Saturday morning. We plan to walk around and talk. I'll, of course, take my camera. We just had a lovely chat on the phone, and I look forward to our initial meeting.
I'll let you know what transpires!
p.s. David R., Dale says, "Hello!"

On Broadway a few years ago...by David R.
Jimmy Greenspon used to call himself "The Mayor of Broadway" - his family for three generations owned a women's clothing store at the corner of 8th & Broadway (where the grey stucco lawyer's office is now located, on the southeast corner.) He never really loved running the business. His degree was in journalism from, you guessed it, the Missouri School of Journalism. He died about four years ago - too young.
(from a scanned tearsheet - this was from the Our Town series, portraits of Columbia.)

Broadway: Start of an idea...
Here are some images from my initial visit to Buchroeder's Jewelers on Broadway...
Owner Mills Menser plans to renovate the area where he's sitting to make way for more diamond cases. The shelves to his left and right are empty.
Menser bought the family business from his father, Mike Menser, in 2007. His father still owns the building. The picture of the two hangs at the front of the store.
Part of the area that has been prepared for renovation. A similar photo is posted to my blog.
This building has housed Buchroeder's Jewelers since 1911. It's possibly the oldest business in Columbia, Mo. While the first floor houses Buchroeder's, the second story is comprised of residential apartments.
Although I think it's interesting to find this business in the middle of transition, I still haven't found *the heart* of the story. Any ideas? I welcome feedback...

Big thanks to Little Dave
Here's a shout out to David Kennedy, who put me on the straight and narrow regarding exposure compensation, meter choices and other settings on the Nikon D3 body.
Thanks, also, to Chris Dunn, who offered help Monday!
