Twice in this past week i have had to wake up at 5am. Both times have had something to do with abandoned power.stations.
Today, through a thick fog, we waited on the roof for clarity. Recently the question was asked: 'what is the perfect song for the parking lot of an abandoned factory at 4am'. I still have no answer.
The world is a beautiful place. Really. |

[Oct. 19th, 2009|01:31 pm] |
A: Got bitch-slapped by a roof hatch trying to take photos with HI-LITE and Dresden, who then forced me to go to the hospital. My tooth went into my lip - I look like I got into a badass fight...haha.

Anyone who has seen my work area at home knows what an insane mess of toys and camera gear it is; I decided to hold up an old macro, and then a fisheye to the front of a camera, and see the results...

Which way should this photograph be mounted? What is the blue/green, in fact?

Which building is in the foreground?

Paraphrasing Albert Camus, to some we say "love me, and be faithful to me"; to others, we say "do not love me, and be faithful to me". The progress, or lack thereof, of some towns amazes me. |
