This photographic series is a continuation of a morning drive, taken in January 2005. These images focus on an old farmhouse I discovered just outside of a town called Apex on a backcountry road. The house appeared to have been abandoned some time ago, which gave me the ability to walk the property in relative freedom.
The Shed
You can never be too certain whom you are going to meet, what they may say, or what they may do if you are caught photographing on their private land. Fortunately for me, I was able to capture these images unabated.
Whenever I come across scenes like these, I often wonder how old these items might be? Who may of sat here and why did they leave this chair at that point in time? How did this place look during its peak?
Distressed Wood
Looking back, I use to find photographic subject matter difficult to find in the countryside of North Carolina. The multitude of winding country roads, farmhouses, and their associated equipment were often times over abundant. I found it became easier to focus on the smaller details of these places, rather than the large macro-images of the farm settings themselves.
Having arrived in England now, and in another agricultural environment, I find that there are many similarities to North Carolina, but very different images at the same time. Driving winding country roads here, I find new subjects lurking around every corner and I like the challenge of attempting to discover as many as possible.
