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.

Great pictures! That's an awesome barn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
ReplyDeleteCool outfit and I enjoyed your post about leashes and collars. I'm totally with you on the martingale, having tags, collars...

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 :)

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.
ReplyDeletei hope they do restore it! it would be a beautiful location!
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.

Well I very much support time off but I am glad that you got photos of this great striped skirt and this amazing barn! I've always wanted to take my photos by an old barn!
ReplyDeleteThis backdrop is beautiful and I love the print on your skirt.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this photoshoot! I adore old buildings with some history and a story behind them! And the way you captured the little details of your outfit is amazing

I really love your skirt!
ReplyDeleteThis 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
ReplyDeleteWhat a great location. There are so many creepy places I really would like to go to take photos, but I get too scared, haha! Also, this outfit is just perfect, that skirt is so cute! Also, those sunglasses are so so cute. I need a pair!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your tattoo

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...
