This is an old abandoned building that I photographed here in Arkansas a number of years ago using my film camera. I converted it to digital format on the scanner, edited to b&w and added a sepia tint to it.

Yeah. I'm not even sure what it is let alone the history. Is it an old house? A shack? I don't know. But it's almost totally overgrown with tress and other vegetation now.

Black and White fit this picture well. What kind of Scanner do you use? I like old buildings to photograph, lots of character and so many compositions possible.

Great Old Building, nicely converted
I am moving shortly to just North Of Eureka Springs and you have no idea how I am looking forward to it.

You're going to love the area around Eureka Springs. Plenty of photo opportunities. Even in Old Eureka Springs with all the old Victorian style homes.
I'll try do dig up some old photo's I took when I was there and post them.

That is what was earlier called a "pole house" for obvious reasons - it was built out of poles made from smaller sapling trees, chinked with mud as opposed to a "log house" made from larger trees. It was the "go to" construction for many lesser affluent Native Americans and white homesteaders in AR, OK and surrounding areas back around the turn of the 19th century and before. That is a fairly sophisticated one with the overhang on one side. The area of central Arkansas was home to a branch of the Cherokee Indians where the Cherokee alphabet was originated in the early 1800's by a now very famous Indian named Sequoyah about whom you can read in Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoyah
