I've made hundreds of images over the years of old abandoned homesteads, houses and barns. I am intrigued, not just by the buildings, but by the lives of the people who may have lived and worked in them.  I often imagine a story, a scenario of what might have been inside these crumbling walls, giving breath once again to the people who called it home. These are my stories, brief glimpses into the past. Continuation of series, images 81-84.

Some damn fool cowboy made off with one of my boots. Not a one would admit to it.

Too old now to sit a horse.  Runnin outta reasons to get up in the morning. Considered marriage once, but she wouldn’t have him.

Eyesight all but failed. Lost his job in the mine. Spends his days on the porch drinking coffee strong enough to melt the rust off nails.

No kinda work for a cowboy. Diggin’ post holes and runnin’ wire. Cowboy’s work should be done from the saddle.
