One of my favorite photo subjects is missing and will no longer there to be photographed. The old barn on Schoharie Turnpike near Freehold was struck by lightening and has burned down to the ground. I remember the first time I found this location and photographed it, the farmer came out and I ask him if would be OK to walk around and photograph is barn. He said "Sure no problem but why photograph the old barn" I said in return "but it has such a great character to it", and the farmer in reply said "if you like it that much I will sell it to you if you like". From that day I would stop and shoot photo of the barn thru the years and seasons watching it age, this past weekend I drove by only to find the charred remains, it was sad sight.
