Day 25/365: Regal

 I am sure this house was great in its time because the energy truly radiated from the house. At first I took the picture from the road, wanting to capture the lake on the left and the trees on the right. Somehow it called me in for closer inspection.

What I love about this photograph: Through the front door window, you can see the woods in the backyard!

Day 2/365: Old and Distant Memories

This is the first photograph in a series in which i have not come up with a name (Series X).  My intention is to take photographs of places my aunts, uncles, grandparents (paternal and maternal), etc. resided in as they were growing up and starting families.  This is the house of one of my "grandfathers".  Although his house is only located about two miles from my mother's house, I had not seen it since he died in 1988 and it was such an eye-opening experience.  He lived in this house his entire life and never had an indoor toilet. 

What I love about this photograph: The memories that it evokes of the lazy summer days spent here.
Technical Stuff:  Nikon D40; 23.0mm; 1/125s; f/5.6; ISO 200
