Spied this ole red beauty on the way back from another softball game tonight. This barn had been on my list to photograph for over a year now, and tonight it came to fruition. As we cruised back into the city where it was located; I was thankful that the Sun was just about in the perfect position in the sky. Walking up a hill toward this proud structure; I began to try and do justice to what I was seeing. My wide angle might have worked better, but I didn't have it with me. The late day sun was really saturating the red, peeling paint, and the flaking white trim contrasted well against it. The roof was in need of some repair, but the dis-repair helped add to the feeling of the photograph. As time allows, I plan to return to photograph this barn again. In different seasons, and at different times of the day to make sure it is well documented. Actually, while I was working toward my Art degree; I had designed the outside jacket of a barn photo book. That seems to be the first time where I felt I wanted to pursue making Fine Art Books. It has stuck with me and was part of the motivation behind my current endeavor. Lord knows I probably don't need another photo book project idea to worry about right now; however, there may be a barn book somewhere in me too.
Happy Shooting.
