Whenever I go camping, I try to take backroads to and from the campgrounds.  You never know what hidden gems you may find.   This old abandoned schoolhouse is a prime example.  Situated in Sauk County, Wisconsin, this one room school stands overgrown on a quiet stretch of rural road.  While it is silent now, I’m sure the sounds of laughter once filled the air here.  I wonder what stories it could tell?

I wanted a painted / textured look for this image so I blended several textures and multiple passes of Topaz Impression for the final look.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
