#701


My first Photo shoot with an abandoned building and I couldn't believe the thrill! I hadn't even made it inside either of the two places I've been to since Friday. However I think I might give it a try here this weekend, providing that the weather isn't so cold. It was a bit chilly when I went Friday and Sunday they are calling for -2 degree weather.

I know the risks and I am being careful. The buildings I'm looking at aren't that old, but old enough to be worn down. They all appear to be structurally sound, but looks can be deceiving. This is why I’ll have accomplices.
Upon telling a family member about it and showing her a few photos, she got excited and wanted to know when I was going inside, because she was going too. Little did I know at the time that her boyfriend was going to get in on it too. Which is all well and good, we can always use a man to do man things and we can always use a getaway car! lol.
This spot (file name 701) is going to be tricky simply because it is across the street from the chief of police. So we have to be careful about going in at night and be careful about how much light we use so not to attract too much attention.

To view more of my photos from the day you can always go to my DeviantART. I don't post everything, but I do post what I think is good.

Wow.


Well, it would appear that not working has taken it toll on everything BUT my art. My Art has only had time to improve. That pleases me. I've been editing my photos in a new way and so far its been nothing but positive feedback.




The photo on the right is one of Dani that I'd taken in late October. The older version was much larger an not as pleasing on the eyes. The previous photo when uploaded ontop DeviantART didn't fair so well on views and favorites. However this new verison has gotten 2 favorites and several pageviews. Not a lot, but thats better than the first time around! I must be doing something right? Hmm?




I've recently fallen in love with taking photos of old, abandoned buildings and items. Theriom doesn't seem to be too interested in this new hobby of mine, but my photo skills are improving and he's noticed too. I'm pleased all around on that aspect.
I'm hoping to find more abandoned things in the furture.
