I photographed this tree at an abandoned sheep farm on Pleasant Center Road. I loved how the apricot trees were dripping with shining dew drops, it was a bit like being in a fairytale!

I photographed this door on december 27th. I love the warped wood and old door knob. It was really hard to photograph because the wind kept swinging it back and forth, and at one point I went to adjust it and it swung around and hit me! Notice the little string hanging from the door knob, its as if someone tried to tie it shut at some point. Unfortunately mother nature usually has a way to ruin even our best attempts at keeping her out!

I took this photo of my Boyfriend a few days ago. He wanted a photo of himself holding his new toy (a Bessa rangefinder camera). This was my first time using a digital camera, and I found it slightly difficult to operate. I love how the photo turned out, and I plan on using the digital more often.

I photographed this lovely serving tray while at an abandoned house a few weeks ago. I love how you can still see the rose on top despite how the paint is flaking.

I photographed this old farmhouse door a few weeks ago while on a trip to an abandoned house on Till Road. It is strange how nice and sturdy this door is, considering that the house is falling in around it. Notice how the pane of glass in the window beside it looks like the profile of a woman in an old fashioned dress!

perfect moments,
pass so quietly by,
timid and shy,
wrapped in your arms,
never lasts long enough,
and some days are just too rough.

For a long time now I have been fascinated with abandoned houses.  Why would somebody spend all that time and effort to turn a house into a home, and then just abandon it to the elements? It seems like at some point, this house was someone’s dream and now it just sits and rots.

I photographed this little boy at the fourth of July fireworks. When we walked by he was intently pursuing the puppy and shouting “come back puppy!” I thought that was too cute. Notice how the kid is on a leash, but the dog is not!

I photographed this little boy playing in the fountain at headwater’s park, during the Three Rivers Festival. I love how he is dripping wet and his dad is trying so hard not to get wet!
