So, anyone who knows me knows my obsession with anything old. Cars, barns, jeans, hats- whatever. I feel the older the better. The more wear and tear, the happier I am. Is that strange? Just call it a quirk, as I have many of those. :) Anyway, for as long as I can remember I have truly been crazy abut old barns. Every time Jeff (my hubby) and I go on a road-trip, we are always on the look-out for weathered barns. Since Jeff and I have been together for over 12 years now, we have seen a few. :) And in all these past 12 years, nothing has changed- I still “Ooh” and “Aww” like a child in a toy store.
Two weekends ago, while on a Senior Shoot, we came across this precious gem in Marcola- the Earnest Barn.
This historic barn is now quite fragile and is set to be demolished soon, which breaks my heart. Apparently the roof is caving in and they have deemed it damaged beyond repair. I took some additional time during the shoot to snap a few personal shots of the barn for me, I fully intend to get this one printed for my house because I just love it. :)
You’ll see more of this barn when I post Brandon’s pictures next…
