The Unconventional Collector

Some farmers collect old tractors and others…well, I guess they collect old planes.

Now that is a cool find! You don’t see one of those sitting on a farm everyday! I liked the aged processing…it goes very nice w/ the image!

  Thanks very much, Tammy! I was pretty surprised to see this plane resting near the barn, and couldn’t resist.

Hey Brian! I love the old ‘feel’ in this capture. But it now keeps me wondering for other angles of this subject. 🙂

  I thought the slightly aged look might add to the vintage feel of this photograph, even though it was taken just days ago. Thank you for the comment.

Wonderful old plane. Did you get it’s history from the farmer?

  Hi Dave, thanks for the comment. The farmer/owner was not in sight when I took the photo, so I was not able to learn the plane’s history.

    Go back and get it! It will make great reading in your old age.

  I wish I knew, since I didn’t get an opportunity to talk with the owner. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Brian, thank you for following my blog. I can’t stop looking at your photos. I love this one. I’ve always loved black and white and an old plane next to an old barn. Quite a find.
