Howard Finsters Paradise Garden, Summerville, Georgia

Howard Finster built Paradise Garden as a testament to God. When you visit, you have no question of his devotion and faith. Constructed from mostly discarded items, the Garden stretches the length of the late Finsters property. I originally visited here in 1996 when I was still in the early stages of being a photographer. I have always wanted to return with my current skills and see what images I could make. So when the opportunity arose to spend the night there, it felt like a dream come true.
