About Old South In North Carolina. It was very odd being here. As a photographer I wanted to capture the image~ the lighting of the room, night stand, the bed. As the light fell into the room it was quiet~ appearing pretty and cozy yet I wondered about the person's who lived there. I imagined it was far far from any perfect life. I felt uncomfortable in taking any photos but in a awe to be in the presence of a historical site. As I walked on the property I'd imagined the cars I heard in the distance did not exist. I imagined the lush trees of the South in full bloom and the activity of the planatation alive with the people who lived here and I felt humbled and sad for the people who were captive in a life that should never have existed for them.

I wondered were the plantation owners were they fair to the slaves who lived in the quarters behind their house. Did they give the housing as a safe haven or were they horrible and mean?? It opened emotional doors for me.. so much so that I had to express it here as I post this simple photo.

Nicely exposed, and I like how you framed it with the door.

I doubt plantation owners were 'fair' to slaves; they were property, not people. Ok, ok they were 4/5ths people (but that was also for economic calculation, not compassion or decency).

Hello Paolo,

Thanks for your thoughts and appreciation. I will try b and w and sepia as well just to see. Funny how our mind captures B and W as the past but truth is we do and they did live in color.

Hello Dale Ann,
Thanks for your note. As I walked the grounds I hoped the people who lived here did find some joy in their environment. I asked my Mom if she felt they could have been happy here. I then thought maybe, although not idea conditions by any means, maybe it was a safe haven in a time that should not have been. It makes you appreciate your freedom/your rights as a person.

Thank you. I hoped to capture the lighting just right and keep the feeling that was there.

You took a snapshot of the roots....in this shot and in your explanation there is the dimension of the presence absence...i can feel throught your words their presence...
I think in B/W couldbe more impressive...

Beautiful, rustic capture. Love the light coming in. Your description made me think about it more. I hope this was a joyous place.
