FOUND: 7/16/10 (one month later) ------------------
"Hello. I found your picturecrossing photo #387 on a lamp post just outside the Saint Leo Abbey Church in Saint Leo, FL. (I) frequently walk down that path. In fact, I had walked past your photo quite a few times and hardly paid attention to it, just assuming it was some type of notice or paperwork for the plant operations department. Yesterday, my curiosity finally got the best of me and I decided to check it out. What a nice surprise it was to find an interesting photo instead of a boring notice! Will you please let me know where the photo was taken and if its location was 'crossed' with a photo of the Saint Leo campus?
Thanks! - Christina"

This photograph is a test shot using the custom-made PolaCity Paris Model Pronto SX-70. It was shot from my balcony in Mons, Belgium showing the courtyard next door on 4/27/10.
These pictures with an "X" number are rare among my images and denote that they were taken with a camera I was only experimenting with. I also drew a deStijl design on this one in black and red forming a relationship with the architectural elements in the photograph.
