Where I come from

These are from Tyrell County, NC where my parents grew up. I went there yesterday with my father for a funeral, so I took the opportunity to make some images at the house where he was born.

When my grandparents were alive, they used to keep chickens and when we would visit as kids, she would always warn us to "close that screen door!" and also " you keep away from that rooster!" whenever we went out of the back door. It was a pesistant memory of growing up for me.

I took these with an Full Spectrum converted digital camera with a 720nm filter and some minor post processing in Photoshop Elements
