Whenever I see these abandoned homes, I can't help wondering why people abandon their homes. I come up with several usual suspects: death, financial difficulty, imprisonment, natural disaster, or relocate, etc. Well, your guess will be as good as mine. Who knows?
Or, perhaps, people do not just abandon their possessions; they actually abandon their past for the hope of a better tomorrow. If that was the case, then I wish them better homes and better shoes.
This year's Thanksgiving, I am thankful that I have a home to go to everyday and have a sense of belonging.
I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Like everything about this image. Very much like your thought process about home. Mr. Baldwin said it well as a closer. Your image was excellent in all respects. Zeiss sort of rules too.

September 11, 2012 at 4:52 PMLovely sentiments to go with a terrific image, Quan. What equipment were you using? Your near/far focus is spot on.
When I run across these shacks in the wild, like this one, I always think it's an old hunting cabin. Guess I don't like thinking about the worst case....
But just a lovely well seen image!
Best,
Bob

I used the Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 18mm/f3.5 and the Canon 5D2 handheld with a very small aperture setting. I like to give credit to this lens which is excellent for these situation; very sharp and have a very small minimum focus distance.
Thank you for the kind words, happy Thanksgiving.

September 11, 2012 at 4:53 PMLooking at your image, I have tried to come up with explanations, from assumptions to imaginations. Where had the other shoe gone to? It's an incredibly fantastic image, Quan!
