Prairie farmhouse interior left abandoned | Limited Edition of 10
Vintage Television in Forgotten Prairie Home
This scene stopped me. Not because it was grand or dramatic—but because it was so hauntingly ordinary. I found it deep in the Saskatchewan prairie, inside a weather-beaten farmhouse that hadn’t seen life in decades. Everything inside felt like it had been left mid-thought. A wooden chair, a 1950s television, broken cabinets, scattered like memories that never made it out the door.
I’ve walked through a lot of abandoned buildings, but this one hit different. The quiet was heavy. The wallpaper had peeled itself away like old skin, the lath showing through in spots like exposed ribs. And that TV—an old Admiral or RCA, I couldn’t tell—still stared blankly, its convex screen cracked with dust and time. It hadn’t broadcast anything in years, but it still commanded the room like it might.
What draws me to these places isn’t just the decay—it’s the persistence. That chair still stands upright. The walls still frame the space. This wasn’t a ruin so much as a snapshot of life paused indefinitely. You could almost picture someone sitting there, flipping between snowy channels, drinking coffee before heading out to tend cattle. Now it’s just air and absence.
I chose to print this one in black and white because colour felt unnecessary. The story is in the textures—the way the wood splinters, the plaster flakes, the shadows hold. It’s a reminder that history doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes, it just waits quietly in a forgotten room.
If you’re drawn to that kind of visual storytelling—where time lingers in objects and space—you’ll want to browse the full Abandoned Photography Collection. And for scenes like this that echo a specific past, take a look at the Bygone Era Photography Collection, where memory and architecture intersect in quiet, powerful ways.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
