close to my house;
tensai, lovely shots, i find the electrical panel quite fascinating. if you have two vertical or two horizontal shots of the house and the panel, i think they'd make for a nice diptych.

Good theme - abandoned buildings. Looking through thread, I remembered I've some pics of abandoned corn drying plant (well, I can't remeber right word for this). They were taken without lens hood, first roll with particular lens - wanted to see how it will look like.

Arwad Island (Syria). There were many abondoned houses and houses that should be abondoned but where people still lived.

Doug, the one of the woman in the doorway is terrific.

Abandoned buildings with a model would make a fun project.

That's your basic slasher film scenario,right?

If it were based on that pretense, I might go see it, but horror is not my fav genre.

Thanks Chris, lots of great shots here - always an interesting subject.
I'd have to check the negatives but I'm pretty sure it was Reala for the first one and some expired Portra 400UC for the second.

I'm doing a project here in Taiwan, part of which is called "promised futures that never happened". The subject is futuristic decaying buildings. These below are from a futuristic resort community from the 70s that was never completed and is now known as the "Flying Saucer Ruins".
My project is meant to echo Robert Smithson, who proposed 40 years ago 'A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey'. He was looking not at majestic beaux-arts sculptures but at freeway projects, or what he thought of as involuntary earthworks: "The Bridge Monument", the "Great Pipe Monument", etc... Smithson saw these infrastructure projects as ruins in reverse: "This is the opposite of the 'romantic ruin' because the buildings don't fall into ruin after they are built but rather rise into ruin before they are built".
