Description

Being a restoration craftsman myself. I will always admire and appreciate the people who spend the time and the resources necessary to restore historical properties. Its a huge undertaking even on smaller homes like these. A work of Art and labor of Love. So vibrant and alive with diversity and individuality. The cookiecutter suburbs here in Kansas City can't even be compared to the character of the restored innercity. Thanks for viewing. ~**Photo-Genesis.net**~

i had no idea you did that, Raz! How fantastic! You're definitely right about it being a work of art and labor of love! i had a friend once who was restoring his verrrry old house. He was an oil painter. OMG, every time i was in his house, i just went nuts!! he had scaffolding everywhere and most of the 2 story home was in the process of being restored. and then he had his art everywhere! the smells were incredible!!! i found that house so dynamic...to see all these works of art in progress...the house and then his many oils. anyway, sorry for storytime...LOL! Compo is awesome here & i think the b/w is perfect!!! it's hard to these kind of shots, at least for me. you definitely captured the charm!!!! fantastic work!

That is what I do too,and I find it a shame when people tear down heritage houses. I have renovated 2 of them desginated heritage. One of the most fullfilling jobs there is. This is a good photo showing many of the features old craftsmen did. Good subject and hope I see more!

Your picture has amazing clarity...so many details are visible! The grey tones are perfectly balanced. Extremely well done! My house is turn-of-the-century, too. There's nothing like an old house!
