Sometimes, you point your camera and are totally surprised by the result.
My grandfather homesteaded this farm in 1904 and built this barn after the original one was destroyed by a tornado. The barn still stands as a landmark in the community.
I didnt know my grandfather, but only saw pictures of him. Pictures of a very handsome, stoic man that never revealed if he had a sense of humor, or had a playful nature. Possibly, because this hardworking man was trying to provide for a "better life" for his American family. He spoke German to his Swedish speaking wife.
In futher examination of this photo, I have come to the conclusion that it is a self portrait of my grandfather.
