The Color of Old

       Mouse over for before and after


Something old... that was one of the shots to find on our scavanger hunt in my flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/kktribe/ . The textures and shapes in the before and after photos do speak to the age of the barn but I believe that the color is what really brings the feelings of time. The dark browns, rusts and grays combined to give a very weathered, dated perception. The red barn in the background adds a nice touch to remind you of the present, of new. 

I always like to take a peak in to old buildings and think of what it was like when it was new. Who worked there? Did they have a family? Was it a lonely life or a blessedly simple one? Who stood where I am standing? The thoughts go on.

The mouse over effect was taught to me by Kim Klassen and Xanthey Berkeley in The Behind The Sceens class.Grab the button on the right and check out their awseome class. The effect I used on the after photo was from the Euphoira Collection by Isabella LaFrance http://ilafrancephotography.com/blog/
