deceased estate

23.10.10 deceased estate

i feel a little bit sad most times i walk into a property that’s advertised as a ‘deceased estate’ – especially when there are cracks in the walls so wide, you can use them as a breakfast counter.

the places more often or not feel really lonely and sad and i always find myself wondering in which room did the person die in and were they alone?  how long did it take for the body to be found?

sometimes the places have very cool furniture though.

the carpark seems so lonely with just a few vehicles left.

i will have to come back here when i have a tripod with me, it sort of reminds me of this deserted playground and the warehouse after the workers all went home.

after the children have gone to sleep…

8.8.091 after the children have gone to sleep…

I actually went back to re-shoot a previous post, as suggested by some of the readers here, but got distracted by this scene instead.

The park was full of 16 yr olds getting pissed for someones birthday, it was all good though. Kind of like a time machine.

I come down here often, but it’s the first time i’ve been down here at night in years.  With the eye, it’s not at all creepy, but through the lens, it certainly can be – especially when shooting tungsten using daylight temperatures.

So i guess i will just have to come back and get the UFO’s another night…
