Squint Shot 043010

Now you just might be wondering why in the world I've made today's squint shot the back side of a building. Well, wonder no more. If you head to the parking lot behind Save-On, look up to the second floor of the building just east of the future Maria's School of Dance building (formerly The Decorating Center), you will see this boarded-up rectangle. At one time, according to one of our elder citizens, this was a picture window. Jensen's Photography Studio was located on the second floor of this building in the early 1900s. The picture window provided natural lighting for their work. So, next time you are parking the car to do a little shopping, look up and imagine nearly a hundred years ago the Jensens working hard to photograph the residents of Fowlerville.
