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.

Cabin leaned some. Much like the old woman that lived in it.

Made the curtains herself. Children’s clothes, too. Nearly grown before they had anything store bought.
