Description
When I find decrepit farmhouses while driving around Missouri highways and byways, I invariably want to know the story behind how the place came to be in such a state. I know the story too well. The old folks died or were too far along to take care of the place anymore so their kids put them in a nursing home. Before long the old home place has gone to ruin. No one wants to be the one to say let’s sell it. All the siblings are hoping that one of their brothers or sisters will speak up and say that they’d like to restore it. It doesn’t happen most of the time, so the countryside is dotted with places just like this. It is a sorrowful tale. Yet, even in the sadness and decrepitude, these old farms have so much character and strength. They are a constant reminder of the lives that were spent there and the great adventures that a family or several generations of a family had.
All of my works are fine art photographs. The Fine Art America algorithms do not allow photos to be sold as original art so in order to offer the original piece, my work must be listed as digital art. My work offered as "original' means that I will not sell the image to anyone else. The purchaser is guaranteed a one of a kind image which can only be acquired through direct contact with me. The art photo is printed using the highest quality materials available today and is certified to be one of a kind. There are a number of factors that separate the work from production or giclee prints. I personally supervise the printing and control the source material. You are guaranteed a unique work of art.
I deeply and humbly appreciate all the kind words and support I receive about my work. The greatest compliment you can pay me is to share my work with others. Please share it on Facebook, on Twitter and other social media. Or, just send the url to a friend or family member who might enjoy seeing it in an email. Spread the word to any and all that you think will find what I do interesting and appealing.
Please contact me by email to order my recently published Acclaim Press book, Hermann, Missouri, One of the Prettiest Towns in America.
Watch my postings for announcements on two other photo books that are in the works.
