Dust Bowl house



The light Wednesday morning was just perfect for picture taking. Unfortunately, we had miles to go before we slept. But I still couldn't resist this stop. This house had attracted my attention for years and the light was too good to miss.

I turned the color photos into sepia toned ones using the built-in actions from Photoshop CS3. The sepia tones remind me of the Dust Bowl years.



My grandparents, who lived through those years, would probably prefer not to be reminded.


I also photographed this house in 1991 or 1992. If I find those photos, I'll be interested to see the changes in the house.
