When I first saw the old freight depot in Augusta, what caught my attention was how much it reminded me of the vintage train station back home. Since then, I've seen that it was not an uncommon design for that time period from the late 19th into the early 20th century.

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist.
