Old House

Imagine picking up your prom date from this place. It seems it went from Christmas lights to vacant. When someone lives in a place the story is written. When a place is vacant the story can be many things. I always wonder about places like this. How long has it been since people lived there? What kind of people were they? How long before the building is rubble hidden by grass and golden rod? How many more images can I make before someone looks out the window? That would scare me!

Cold House

Sleet, snow, and rain, what a day. I'll admit, I never left the car, and didn't put the window down. The window up (dirty and wet), helped keep the contrast down and makes it more real for the day. Sometimes I think camera technology is so good it takes some of the realism out of the image. The house is square on this day. I think of a place like this as an abandoned barn. It's vacant and with no upkeep, it won't be long before it's a pile of rotten boards on the ground.

House and Tractor

I saw the tractor and knew I had to get a shot. I didn't know what to do until I noticed the house in the background. I didn't think anyone lived here but still parked up the road from the driveway (just in case). I walked around a little, found a few things but wasn't happy until I started playing with the angle of the house. The tractor could be leaning in any direction. We started to hear voices to the left side of the house (behind the bush), so it was time to sneak away.
