barns

sublime, simple landscape photography of barns have been around since the turn on the century (the last one, that is). focusing on composition, light, and staying warm, i headed into the nowhere in south dakota in search of the random barn to try out an idea. the first three didn't have what i had in mind.

sans front door, the painted green room caught my eye as I drove down a dusty road. with no 'private property' signs in sight, this was a suitable location. i placed a single nikon sb-800 on the floor, and did a test shot (see below), which turned into a cool self-portrait.

i imagined a perspective of an old-school landscape juxtaposed with sterile reality.... something nostalgic, but creepy. steven king lurks around the corner...
