Although we technically don’t have a home of our own these days, the idea of home is on my mind a lot. Just this morning I was browsing through realtor.com, as you do, checking out what’s around in our price range. I find the need to remind myself that home isn’t always about the roof over your head. The Trailers Collected series by the late photographer Nan Brown prove that often home is in the eye and heart of the beholder.
It might sound corny, but it’s so very true. Home is where the heart is. If a place is filled with the people we love, it provides us shelter, not just in the physical sense but in the emotional and spiritual senses. By capturing these humble abodes, some well cared, for others, barely hanging on, Brown captures the essence of what home can be.
