The Old Homestead 3

August 9, 2014

At one time this homestead was a dairy farm. I think this little building is the milk house, where the milk cans were kept until they were picked up by the milk processors. It’s only about eight or ten feet tall and eight or ten feet on a side.

Yesterday in the comments section Ken Bello and Melinda Green Harvey suggested I try converting my documentary shots of the house (posted yesterday) to black and white. So here, below, they are. Actually they are black and white with split toning of yellow and blue. They do look a bit more interesting to me—the somber mood is enhanced—but I still think they’re just photographs of the house. I’m interested in the opinions or suggestions other people may have.
