Barns

This is a selection of images of barns, outbuildings and the fields in which they were constructed. The ubiquitous black barns of Kentucky were normally built to hold drying tobacco when tobacco was king in Kentucky. Most of the photographs were taken from the highways and county roads in the several states that border the Ohio River. Once again, the intent of the photoshoots was to gather compositions for paintings. The images are selected from photoshoots since 2001 and were taken using both film and digital cameras.
