Past Beauty- Fall Edition
My love for old, forgotten places began in childhood on my Oma and Opa’s farm - wandering through leaning barns, opening dusty drawers, and imagining the lives that once filled them.
Years later, during a photography workshop in southern Alberta in October 2021, that curiosity resurfaced in a powerful way. These were the first images I created in a workshop setting. While my skills have grown since then, I treasure these photographs for the stories they hold and the moment in my artistic journey they mark.
What I found in those abandoned spaces wasn’t ruin - it was resilience.
Weathered wood, rusted metal, and quiet rooms revealed their own poetry. Time didn’t erase them. It transformed them.
“Tattered curtain, wind’s slow hand.”
“What remains after time passes”
“In the silence, I hear.”
Sometimes we get stuck in routine and forget to imagine. What is in that rusted trunk hidden in tall grass? Take a breath. Imagine. We could all use a little magic.
Dive deeper into the stories, imagery, and reflections behind Past Beauty-Fall Edition in my extended photo e-book.
