Black and White

Initial ideas rarely become final results…

I went four-wheeling several weekends ago at a gravel pit. Near this gravel pit stood an abandoned barn with some old fencing and overgrown grass around it. Interesting black and white material I thought. The next day I drove back to the barn, this time with my camera and sister, and shot away. The sun was extremely bright, casting some exciting shadows through the trees and onto the barn. Just my luck. Alongside the barn lay remains of cement foundation to a farmhouse. My sister, being the clown that she is, fell into model-mode and began posing for the camera while standing on the foundation rubble. I shot quite a few of her as well. Upon bringing my day’s results into light room, the photos I found least discouraging and liking the most just so happened to be of her. The sun hit the aviators just right, forming stars on the lenses.

Clearly my intentions were far from my results.
