Old Signature
by Arvin Chaikin

New York State

This is part of the signature wooden beam from an old barn. At that time, the builder signed and dated his construction. I could not manage to get the name into this image.

I lived in upstate New York in the 50s to the 80s. About 1960, one of my daughters found that a barn near our house had collapsed. Upon examination, I found this timber among the ruins, and cut it out of the beam with a chain saw. The signature in front of the date is "T V E". -Arvin

What a neat find, Arvin...effective lighting that reveals so much texture here. This piece of timber has character, and you captured it well. Nice shot. How did you come to obtain this? MFC
