The older I get, the more I appreciate family. I've developed a sense of belonging. I find myself wanting to know a little bit more about my family history. Well one day, I wanted to shoot abandon buildings for a local contest. The day was perfect for photography. The sun was out and the weather was just gorgeous. My dad knew exactly where to go for this project. So he decided to take me to a place in Chesapeake Virginia where my grandfather worked in the fields when my mother was a young girl. My mother talked of a store on the property where they shopped. That store is still standing today. It meant so much to me that day to actually stand on the same property where my mother stood over 50 years ago. The most wonderful part about all of this is that my mother is still living. I'm able to share a piece of her past with her and that does my heart good.
