What should I photograph?

  • Homes, Buildings, Barns/Outbuildings (aim for those at least 50 years old);

  • Photos can be of the overall building or a close-up of a specific feature;

  • Unique or interesting architectural features;

  • Historic Landscapes: parks, battlefields, cemeteries, or others;

  • Photos can be unrelated or create your favorite theme (i.e. train depots, churches, types of windows, etc).
