The way it works

Here's how it seems to work. Stand along a rural road taking pictures, or buy a few frames from a yard sale, or mention to someone in line at the grocery that you are a photographer and they will tell you where the interesting pictures are! On a very wet and grey Saturday, we stopped at a yard sale at an old farm house. We bought a few things and mentioned that we like to take pictures of old farms etc. We were directed to the end of the road where this old house/barn is still sheltering a few animals and waiting for time to put an end to it. We couldn't get a picture in the downpour, so we went back the next day to capture this decrepet sentinel standing at the junction of two roads outside Watkinsville, GA. The weathered wood is in sharp contast to spring breaking out all around it. Photogrphy is one of the few ways to capture the remaining beauty of what was.

Movie set

We took a ride south and east of Simpsonville on Saturday late in the afternoon. The weather was beautiful and the light just right. As always happens, we found lots of beautiful and interesting places - and some friendly pigs. The most interesting place was this old house standing back off the road. Clearly it was once a large farmhouse, but like so many others, has given in to time and neglect. It looks like a movie set for a dust bowl saga or a horror flick. I'm sure it has stories to tell.
