Despite just moving into my fraternity house, it’s story goes much further. Being about a century old, the house saw many different groups over the years. These images tell stories not only of what how the house serves us today, but how it’s been treated.
The floorboards that have seen the sun time and time again. The cuts and scrapes symbolize the ever changing environment that this house faces.
The crooked painting. Invites a sense of imperfection into the house.
The Old Fireplace. A remanent of an earlier time now covered in bricks and prioritized by the TV.
A Maine Legacy. A reminder of why we’re all together in this house.
The bar is filled with etchings and covered in clutter. This shot is just a fragment of what resides here.
In recent years, this house has been packed full of my own memories that I’ve made with some people that I regard my close friends. While I understand that I’ll never know what the years are going to do to this place, I hope that some of these marks remain so they can give some hints to future residents of the fun we had when we lived there.

I really like the story told here, the changing environment, and the everlasting memories that were left.
I really like how you tied the scratched floorboards together with the changing environment of the house.
