east texas backwoods churches

For many years, I drove to East Texas to document backwoods churches at a time when they were disappearing rapidly. A few  were still in use. I have enough pictures to make a good book, and I’m going through them now with that in mind. I’ll post a few of these pictures occasionally. Their sense of space, the architecture and simple craftsmanship still speak strongly to me. Click on galeria de vistas to see more photographs.
