 This house has a story. I don't personally know what it is, but every time I drive past, I think of a time when that front porch rocker might have hosted a Czech-German woman overlooking her grandchildren playing on the lawn.

I'm quite sure the processing choices I've made here will either be effective or off-putting--not much middle ground. Even though I started with a full-color cell phone original, I always envisaged this being a handsome sight in recolored antique monochrome. I was hoping, perhaps, to evoke a kind of wistful memory of earlier days when this house might have been in better shape to host company.

this could easily be the set for a horror movie ...the desatuaraion gives some extra nostalgia vibes. So well done!

That's a shame. Looks like it was once a beautiful house.
