The graphic element of the weathered cow skull against the character of the barn wood inspired me to take this photograph. I loved the contrast of the white skull against the rich tones of the barn. The skull seemed to tell a story and I wanted to evoke a feeling of the past and western history to the viewer.The graphic element of the weathered cow skull against the character of the barn wood inspired me to take this photograph.
