My good friends Robert Walker and Jerry Rushing and I ventured into the Mississippi Delta this past Saturday and had a very productive photo-shooting safari. Above is a rarity I don't stumble across very often, hence the rarity — a double-barrel shotgun house. The two sides of the house are exact duplicates and if you shot a gun through either front door it would go straight out a back door. This structure is located in the middle of a corn field along with several other farm buildings, which you will see at some point in the near future.
It was a great day to be with friends out wandering across this great state of ours. That alone was worth going. I appreciate Robert's and Jerry's friendship and if we stumble across some good photos, then that is what my blogging friend Janie would call lagniappe! You can go to Janie's and Robert's photography blogs through the links on the right. It would be well worth it, my friends.

My friends and I ran across one of the things I love to photograph — yet hate to photograph — the other day in another abandoned church, this one in the Mississippi Delta. Some beautiful pieces of furniture, including a unique communion serving table, were in the church. I wish I knew who to contact about a church like this, so we could preserve the many things in the church that the elements will surely ruin soon. It stirs my soul to think of the many prayers that have been lifted up here and the lives that were changed. I am glad I am able to record bits and pieces of them, however, for it brings me a small bit of comfort knowing that the church may soon be gone, but it will never be forgotten.
