    I rarely delete any of my shots unless there are technical problems that cannot be overcome. When I initially reviewed my shots from this series I wasn't sure what I might do with it but I felt like it was a good capture. This shot was done in studio against a 50 grey backdrop. I used a series of overlays to give it a dreamy background. I hope you enjoy!

    The interesting thing about the background in this photo is how the day unfolded. It had been gray, cold, and sleeting nonstop, with ice steadily accumulating on the branches and power lines, growing heavier by the hour.

    I have passed this old barn hundreds of times since moving to the area and almost always I think to myself "there is something there". Well I finally decided i was going to work the scene and find the magic in this barn. I went to the home I assumed owned the property and to my delight the owner was happy to let me photograph their old barn. The light was fading so i had to work quickly. I shot several angles but this was one of my favorites.
