Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Life has me a little behind on my normally scheduled posts. That being said, I hope you enjoy these photos from small Texas and Kansas towns that my wonderful husband took on the last trip that don’t really fit anywhere else. What do you think of analog photography? Let me know in the comments! Have
