Description
I’ve got to admit, I’ve driven by this wonderful old abandoned house for many years. Indeed, I drove by it pretty much daily on the way to the “grind” for 23 years until I retired from regular employment in 2018. It’s conveniently right off the side of the road where it’s easy to pull over so I have no excuse for taking this long to get a photo of it other than “I’ve never gone by in good light with a camera in the car,” which is admittedly pretty weak. Enter my recently started journey in to infrared photography. With infrared, light that is harsh for standard visible light photography becomes exactly what the doctor ordered for “punchy” black and white images, which are perfect for old abandoned structures like this one.
For those interested in the technical aspect of the image, I captured it on a full spectrum modified camera using an 830 nanometer filter on the lens so no visible light was involved.

fabulous. Did you go into the house? why one wonders, is it deserted? a wonderful piece of art, Mike.
Mike Lee replied:
Thank you, Sabina - no, it's on private property so I just shot this from the road side.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.

Very nice image Mike! I always think of the people who lived there in the past. The good times and bad they lived through. The idealist in me always wants to believe that they were a loving, happy family.
