On Basswood
A wide front porch, a picket fence, and an old car parked out front — The Mills Place is a portrait of American life at a quieter pace. Grady Summers has a gift for capturing the soul of a structure, the way a home holds the memory of everyone who ever lived inside it. The wood grain of the basswood breathes life into the clapboard siding, and every line of that fence was burned with the patience of a man who understands that some things are worth taking your time over.
