When out looking for old barns to shoot I ran into this old house. I

went up to the door of a house that was on the same property as this

house and the old barn. The old lady that answered the door gave me

permission to shoot the barn and told me a long story about the

house. She and her husband lived in this house for 50 years, kind of

sad but nice to have a story and a face to go with the pic.

This is exactly the kind of image/story I long to see on PN. You captured this home in a beautiful way. The details are clear and the sense of a life lived are obvious by the cleared land and the covered windows. I think the tones you used are excellent ie. the way they highlight the house. Thanks so much for telling part of the story.

I agree with Liz. You are a very lucky artist to have found this person and her story, and thank you for sharing it with us.

Aren't old houses wonderful? At least this one isn't being torn down.

I think a lot of people overdo the HDR thing and use it for inappropriate subjects, but I think you have made good use of it here as the house and the textures of it make a very interesting subject. It is all very well exposed and a very beautiful shot. I love all the old stuff in our world, it has an often untold and mysterious story behind it. I have been shooting old abandoned buildings and such for a while and I have a section in my portfolio of them. Great shot!

Great shot! Again what a great story. So much of photography is telling the story. Oh if these walls could talk? Very nice touch! I too like to stop and shoot old buildings, they offer so many possibilties.
