We have driven past the church/school house several times and always say “that would be an awesome picture” so finally we actually stopped and took a few. I was never into history when I was younger but the more I have started doing photography it has really made me think of the past. What was life like when people attended this building everyday? What was this building used for? Why did they choose this location for it when there is nothing around? I look at all these old buildings and wonder what life was like back then. Today’s structures have so little character where I wonder what my grandkids will say someday when they see what was built in the 90’s or 2000’s. Will todays average house still be around in 75-100 years?
