Photographing barns doesn't take too much talent or skill. If you can point a camera then you can certainly capture
an imposing barn with all its detail and beauty for others to enjoy seeing. The farther we get away from our rural roots as
a people, it seems the more that we enjoy the nostalgia of the old barns and what they meant to the farmers who built them.
On this site, I'm going to talk a little about my own skills, such as they are, at photographing barns and other
rural scenes. I will try to give a bit of history on the subject itself, as well as some background on some of the barns
that I have a little information about. I might also include some tips or techniques used or how I was lucky enough to get
the shot that I did get. And, of course, I'll include lots of pictures of the results of my photo journey throughout
the County of Sibley in the great State of Minnesota!
