Red Barn Frenzy

 

One of the photos I have in the LPCA B&W Show is a detail of a building in Saranac Lake. At the opening one of my painter friends expressed surprise. She wasn't aware that I photographed architecture. The natural landscape is my primary subject matter but I am fond of old buildings, especially barns and they are fairly frequent subjects in my work.

There is a barn in Hannawa Falls that was sold in 2023 and I wish that I had had the resources to buy it. It would make a fabulous studio and gallery. I don't know what the new owner has planned for it but I wanted to photograph it before any changes are made or (God forbid) it is torn down and replaced with a tract house like those built around it. This morning I went by it on the way to town and decided today was the day. 

I shot over 20 views and as I look at them in the computer I think I may have to go back for more. The ones here are in the order I shot them as I walked around the barn on the highway onto the street and back to my car. All were shot from the roadway (no trespassing involved). This is a barn that, aesthetically speaking, just keeps on giving. I hope you like them as much as I do. If you click on a photo you can see it bigger.

Out-Takes from the Daily Photo Series #2

Here is another 'out-take' from the Daily Photo series, a barn near where we live.

Daily Photo - Day 7

On the Pumpkin Hill Rd. there is an interesting barn that I have been meaning to photograph as a reference for a drawing. It is long and quite close to the road so I had to shoot several photos in sequence to get the full width. Because I walked along as I shot the photos the view angles changed so it doesn't make a good panorama when stitched. The software can't resolve the different angles but it will be adequate as a drawing reference. Some parts of the barn, like this one, are interesting in themselves. I liked this one the best.  Just for fun, I made a toned B&W version as well. I think it suits the subject matter.

Signed prints are available of either version. A  small print (approximately 6x9 image area) matted out to 11x14" is $50 plus postage/shipping. I can print up to 12x18" if you want a larger print. Contact me if you are interested.
