I thought about barns and the need to photograph and record their existence before they are gone. The barns are old and vulnerable here; without expensive shoring and repair, they will come apart and perish. When they go, there will be no more barns like them. They are both haunted and sacred places.
The photos speak for themselves; they don’t need any explanation from me.
This barn is more than 200 years old. It saw quite a bit.
I’ve always loved your barn photos because you see the beauty of them, even (or primarily) in states of decay. They are gorgeous….. and though I do love the photos, they sadden me in many ways

I appreciate all your photographs. These are exceptionally beautiful.
I have always loved barns and took photo after photo in the farming hills of Ontario, Canada, where my family originated. When I was 7 my grandparents barn caught fire and burned to the ground and I cried and cried. Wherever I go I try to pay homage to the abandoned and dying farm buildings.
Thank you for the photos. I love the way the black and white brings out the details without the distraction of color. Your photographic abilities just keep expanding. It’s beautiful to witness
Thank you, very much
I have also thought about the many barns in our area, so many older and falling apart. They seem to be there just waiting for their portrait to be taken before they are gone. Have often thought that a book could be made of The Barns of Saratoga County or The Barns of Washongton County.
