18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Old abandoned farmhouse in Nebraska.

These old farmhouses speak to me .What are there stories ? Who lived here ? What was their life like ? Most likely ,it was a hard life ! Farming during the dust bowl years ,Through the harshest of circumstances ! The homesteaders had no help from anyone and some families were wiped out by plagues. So I hope to show a legacy left from a people who persevered under the worst circumstances .A people who were once strong and brave .
