The Old Barn by Scott Speck

"The Old Barn" by Scott Speck is a black and white image of the outside of an old, run down barn and the debris surrounding it. The debris leads the eye deeper into the photograph. Alot of the image is blurred which gives it a nice sense of movement.
I feel like Speck's intention was to show how even the most run down and forgotten places can be beautiful and mesmerizing. Speck also wanted to demonstrate how even beautiful things can be haunting and dangerous.
My initial reaction to the photo is mixed. It is scary and ominous but at the same time the boards that litter the lawn makes me want to go further in.
Overall the photo is amazing. It does what every great photo should: it makes you want to enter inside and discover a whole new world. There is definitely a story behind the photo and it makes you think. This photo is actually something I would consider hanging on my wall.

9/10!
