Gina, these are beautiful photographs. I too love the colors and textures of things that have been used and weathered, things that have lived. When we were in art school ERic and I went to take pictures of an old barn near his folks house. As we were taking photographs an old man came out, his house was directly across from the old barn that was starting to fall down, he grumbled at us to stop and asked us what was so beautiful about the degradation of agriculture? I said that I don't look at it as something that is not being used, but something that was used a lot and that that was what made it beautiful. The poor man had to stare at his once beautiful barn quickly turning to ruin from the windows of his house and quite understandably it broke his heart.
