Don't care about being a winner

If you have a dog or are thinking of getting one, I wrote a post on finding fashionable and functional dog collars on Beloved Pets today. Check it out!

Driving Jason to the airport last weekend, I noticed a beautiful old barn right up against the highway. The sign plastered on it gave me a name and a website to look up and admire all last week. I recognized it later as the barn in the pictures that are on the wall outside my office (I announced to my co-worker 'HEY they are pictures of the star barn out here'. I was especially interested because I'm really into finding places that are big parts of America and this town while I am living here. I want to focus more on capturing Harrisburg while I'm here, not hiding taking photos behind my apartment.

When I picked Jason up from the airport this week, we found our way to this beautiful yet dilapidated old barn. First, I was a bit scared. I should have taken pictures (Flickr is full of them if you please), but this is kind of in someone's front lawn, and I have this grand fear of people chasing me out of their lawn. I got over it, and we ventured to take some photos. Really, I love how these turned out, but the barn itself is a little depressing. It's for sale, falling apart, and storage for a bunch of random signs apparently. According to the website, there is a group trying to restore it. Anyhow, it's very beautiful and alarming how these wonderful pieces of America fall so easily.

  3. Beautiful pictures! I love those yellow shoes. I'd like to get out and take more pictures in public too. I need to just get over my fear of feeling akward about it.

  6. Taking photos on property that isn't yours is always a little scary! I love the star on the barn and it really made for a cool backdrop. Your zigzag skirt is adorable :)

  8. You are so totally gorgeous and I am so in love with your outfit and these photos! It can be extremely stressful to find the perfect location to take photos and not get caught or ran off. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been ran off around here (or threatened to be fined or in trouble for trespassing!) seriously, our town's panties are in a bunch about stupid stuff.
    i hope they do restore it! it would be a beautiful location!

  9. I am so in love with these nails, I wish I knew how to do them, it's seems to be so difficult. This skirt and those amazing heels are awesome, but I truly like each detail you have there.


    Much Love,J. - http://juliechoice.blogspot.com/

  14. This is so funny Katherine - I took my photos on Monday when I was in the area. Your's turned out utterly gorgeous! I was pretty freaked too b/c a couple cars drove out of that house that was across the street..ha. That would have been very cool to have run into you there though :) Loving your outfit lady - that skirt/top (dress) combo is so unexpected and looks beautiful together! Love those shoes too! xx Marisa

  17. Ooh, I need to check out the shop with the puppy collars. Our poor dog has really old collars, and I think she'd appreciate an update. Your hair is super adorable! I would probably try it if I didn't feel like that cut would make me look ridiculously short. Maybe sometime...
