Love the story that goes with this one. I can truly understand your feelings about it being in bad repair.

The sepia tone is an excellent choice here. I like the low-contrast look, too. It really helps give this an 'aged' look.

I like the sepia toning on this image. really gives it an old vintage feel. It is nice that the building is still standing after all these years with the memories your family has.

The colours are great. The path really leads the eye into the picture.

This is a great shot... and I love the processing. It reminds me of a shot that I took a couple of years ago.

Let's not even try to discuss whether this is a valid take on "perspective", and just deal with the image :-) It's an endearing shot on an emotional level. The way the "antlers" match the fur is quite amusing. I wish the santa hat were not hiding behind the antlers; I'd have tried to fix that. The BG furniture is very distracting, especially the wooden leg, so you might have tried to find a better place to set up the pose. On the other hand, maybe the dog's not cooperative? What do I know? Anyway, I got a chuckle from this one :-)

Wow, back in the day. You did this fine building justice with this beautifully edited image. I think the lighting looks perfect for this type of image. I bet the flour and cornmeal tasted so good back then before GM(gentically modified) foods came along. Thanks for sharing the story! :)

What a fine story. The light isn't all that bad with the way you have toned the shot to make it look old. It's great that you still have it to go see. In time, like us, it will be gone. It's good to be able to at least keep our images of the things like this that mean a lot to us. You should try to shoot a few with your family in front of it.
