Black And White Urban Building Restorer
I'm writing this at 4.30 am as I have hot feet and about to dive into the freezer.
Coming back from an appointment yesterday I took some urban shots which is a departure for me.
Before I took these shots I too felt abandoned in a sense drifting , but seeing this poor abandoned building I realised what potential I have.
With photography it is all about having a go , at the moment I am varying my angles to get different prospective. One time I would have been bothered about the cars being in the shot , but I am reminded of my architectural and history , heritage background . To breath live into our old buildings is a miraculous achievement.
Whether they are iconic landmarks
Or as an urban canvas for griffiti form and functionality.
I love the first photo. It looks like it is a place that could tell so many stories
ReplyDeleteIt can. It is the old prison which then became a greyhound racing track!

ReplyDeleteI love the photographs. A few years ago, i took lots of photographs of some old garages with graffitti all over them. I love grungy, disused buildings x
ReplyDeleteWe don't have any buildings like this where we live but they look interesting to photograph.
