I started about 3 years ago in my area.I'm mostly rural with the ever present urban
sprawl
only a few
concessions away to my rear(south<g>)
I started taking pictures,mostly winter B&W of farm properties,old houses and barns,old
farm
impliments etc.
Now that i have the 6x7 i have started to use it more for this project,than the 35mm,
and
also have
some neat IR farm images too.
I'm not one who takes/accepts change well and will truly miss farms whan thay are all
gone.
However, if my daughter still wants to have a horse farm in the near future i might
save
one instead of
paving one.
