I walked with Red down this road, I saw the old barn at the end of the road, and I put the camera on manual and deliberately shot it out of focus. I thought the old barn evoked something, I didn’t want it to be literal, but to touch the imagination a bit. I liked the feeling of the mysterious old barn down the dirt road, force the viewer to imagine it rather than see it. Digital color photography is often so literal, I wanted to try doing it differently with the 5D monochrome.
