Very good stuff, Walt. I love seeing that flowering tree -- is it a cherry, or apple? I like that crumbling window, but I think a more squarish crop, in tight, might be better. I'd try an 8x10 format. On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 1:18 AM, Walt Gilbert ldott...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, But for the

Thanks, Dan! Those are old Burley tobacco barns that don't get much use these days as very few farmers grow it anymore. The old saying goes, you have to be strong in the back and weak in the mind to grow tobacco -- and I guess all the old guys' backs have finally given out. The dog was too

Thank you, Frank! The Purina wall is one I've photographed dozens of times, but manages to keep frustrating me. The roof line of the building is extremely close to the top-left corner of that sign and it always ruins the image in my eye. And the flag on the front porch was the very thing
