Kill The Music
By Steve Tweed
Laurel Seminary Church sits at the bottom of a serene field in the Big Laurel Community of Madison County, North Carolina.
The church was organized on December 11, 1897 and services were conducted until the early 1960’s.
The church sits on property owned by The Wallin Family. They were nice enough to give me permission to go inside to shoot photographs.
I was instantly drawn to the old piano in the corner and while trying to figure out exactly how I wanted to shoot it, noticed the old family barn through the window which was built by family ancestors Thomas Madison Wallin (1867-1939) and his son Stephen Marshall Wallin (1889-1921).
The piano in the solemn, abandoned church inspired the title “Kill The Music”.
