Johnsonville East Haddam, CT
I have decided to create a photographic documentary of a place called Johnsonville, in East Haddam CT which will also consist of some self portraits at the site for my final project. Johnsonville is small town located on one road within the boarders of East Haddam. Johnsonville was created in the 1960's as a tourist destination by aerospace tycoon Rayond Schmitt. The many acres consists of dozens of old churchs, barns, mess halls, and cottages that have all been abandoned since Schmitt's passing. The buildings and houses remain deserted and empty. I have gone twice to Johnsonville to take photos, and will continue to do so until the end of the semester. Here are a few photos so far:

I would love to take more than the few shots I have of this place, but wasn't sure how much the No Trespassing signs are enforced. (I've also tried to find information about this place but without much luck.) Good luck if you are still working on this photo project. Would love to see your photos if you are showing them on or offline.
