Barn and Field

In this place: Fray's Mountain Road, Albemarle County, Virginia
Part one

We often edit photos to find that "winning" shot that might become a portfolio candidate or a picture to print and display. But if you think of photography as a process of exploration, the editing goals change. Rather than focus on the winners, we look for a series of shots that tells a story or imparts a sense of place. After all, who would send Lewis and Clark to explore the American West with instructions to bring back only the one or two very best discoveries.


Last Saturday, I spotted this barn and machine shed and stopped to take some pictures. When I got home, I had about 40 exposures. Over the next several days, we will explore this place in a series of photos chosen, not because they are "winners," but because they show what I discovered on a cloudy Saturday afternoon with a camera.
