Broken and Scarred still a Light Shines Within - abandoned farmhouse bedroom in rural ND Acrylic Print

”Broken and Scarred, but still a Light Shines Within"
What caught my eye here was the "inverse shadow" of the sunlight on the wall of the abandoned Stensby farmhouse bedroom (near Brinsmade North Dakota), cast just above the long-abandoned bed, still sitting there and enduring the seasons passing, along with the birds and creatures taking up residence within.

I had to remove (digitally) my camera's and own self shadow from the image since I was also right in line with the sun.

Captured 5/20/19 with Pentax K-1 and Rokinon 14mm lens.. And thanks, Virginia, for title idea!

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota. He first became interested in photography during high-school, and after acquiring a Pentax SLR, began taking photos for the school yearbook and developing/printing B&W images in school darkroom. He continued shooting through college, taking portraits, group pictures, weddings, but after beginning his engineering career at Cummins, he let his photography interests go dormant until about 2005 when he acquired his first DSLR and started shooting scenic landscapes from around the US, but concentrating especially on rural areas in ND and WI. Many of his images were encountered while riding motorcycle down random backroads during "golden hour", searching for that magic light...
