I am almost done with the book, “Undaunted Courage.” It talks about the journey of Lewis and Clark across the United States to the Pacific Ocean. Some many things about this book fascinates me. The fact they made the journey was a feat in itself. The things that worked against them, and how they had to overcome many obstacles is amazing. What is also amazing is how much changed when they made that journey. The route they took is much different today than it was then. America has changed a lot since then. A lot of those changes happened because of their journey out west. Their journey opened the door for others to move and expanded the United States boarders even further. This book has been a great read, and I am looking forward to the next book.
Something that is a common sight in Charlotte is older homes being torn down. When someone buys property in Charlotte, they usually are not after the house. They want the land the house sits on top of. Many single-home properties end up being subdivided into 2 or more homes on the same lot. Homes and buildings are being torn down all over the city. I captured these photos last July. A home across the street from us was torn down. This moment frozen in time in this photo shows the devastating part of change. We see people’s homes being torn down, and the structure that helps memories is lost. Change is good, but don’t forget what change costs. I captured these photos as a reminder of what was there before. Photography is not only you capturing good memories, but also bad ones as well.
