This is one of the many historic homes in Astoria built in the late 1800's. (Old by West Coast America standards). The interesting thing is that in the early 1900's - this home was moved from another location - think about the available technology and remember Astoria is a city of steep hills.
This home is still lived in and I not only met the owner - he gave me a tour. The inside is beautiful and tomorrow I will included a photo of it.
The owner had just come back from spending the winter in Florida - which is why the Christmas decorations are still hanging on the porch.
Note - I did remove some of the wiring in the sky but I left it on the building - in case anyone wonders. :)
I appreciate all the comments – I find them very encouraging. My primary photography is flowers and landscapes along with my grandkids.
Most of my photos are, “as they were taken.” I do work with lighting or darkening them in many cases (and sometimes I will sharpen them) but I try not to use too much “photo-shopping” If I do adjust them – I try to mention it.
My goal is to I try to keep my photography as photography and not turn it into art. While I do love the retouched photos, I personally think they become art and not photography – just my opinion.
