One of my favorite places to be is a small farm just west of Edmonton, Alberta.  Over the May long weekend of 2010 I unexpectedly found myself there.  Unexpected because I hadn’t planned on traveling that far from my home in BC.  Sunday Afternoon I took out my camera and began to wander the farm.  It was cold and my fingers were becoming numb.  For some reason, this shed caught my attention.  I’ve walked by it more times that I can remember and never paid it any attention.  But that day I stopped and focused my camera in its direction.

At first I wasn’t sure what about it had caught my eye.  Was it the muted red tones on the structure or maybe the way the paint was coming away in spots giving it an “old” feel?  I crouched down in front of the shed and took some time to examine the scene.  I must have taken about 15 minutes just looking . . . thinking. . . changing angles.

I began with a few test shots. . . shots of the whole structure.  No luck.  I just was not happy with what I was getting.  I wasn’t going to give up though.  Something was there, I was certain.  Then I decided to narrow my focus.  My eyes were drawn to the logs and the lines they created.  That was it. . . shot captured.
