It's amazing that a lot of the original structures are still standing there as they did all those years ago. While growing up in South Carolina I was fortunate enough to visit similar plantations as well.
You did a really great job of capturing the emotion within your photos and I appreciate you sharing the children's quotes because it doesn't get more real than that. Work like this makes me want to break out my camera and start taking pictures again.
What plantations did you visit in SC? While i was traveling I stopped at the McLeod Plantation.
You should definetly get your camera out and start shooting again. I host photo contest that you can enter and win some SBD and show off your skills.
Boone Hall Plantation is a pretty popular one that I've been to. They have some beautiful oak trees on the property that make for some awesome photos.
I'll have to do just that when you have the next competition. It's about time I knock the dust off of it.
