What a lovely granddaughter you have WhiteCrow.  Didn't show know the photo of her was on the billboard?  What an awesome surprise!  Bet you had something to do with it Grandpa.

She didn't know about it, until she saw herself on the Billboard.

Very professional HorrorRetro.   Your B&Ws are so moving.  One can tell what your subjects are feeling without a word being said.

Thanks. Street photography is something I'm rather new to and I'm learning as I go. It's a genre of photography that I really love. Locally, someone saw my page and they have requested that I work with them to promote awareness of a homeless shelter that is sitting empty, so I've been doing that for a week now. It's brought me some really unexpected opportunities.

Like lots!!!   and I'll match you

I like it! I love anything abandoned or decrepit. Friends keep asking me if I'm scared going into theses sites alone, and I have to keep explaining I'm not. This is what I live for. I'd be scared if I didn't do this stuff.

Send the summer triangle shot to LMH, including an unsigned story of witnessing a triangular craft chasing cows in a pasture.  Hilarity will ensue.

We're riding the same wave. I'll post up some 'decrepits'  every few days for your viewing pleasure.

A couple of sky pictures - the first from the winter of 2005 a sunset off some strange clouds and one from July when the sky I swear had a tint. I had not seen before. Keep looking up!

No pictures of me unless I sign a release or I sue.

Just noticed that inside of the Rock House there is a piece from the Roswell Saucer Crash.

Note on picture, the pieces that is between the perpendicular lines of the green window frame, has Roswell Glyph symbols on it.

Your top photo looks like a wall cloud is forming.  Where do you live, in general?  If you lived in Tornado Alley, this tint and formation come with the territory, and season.

Thanks for the heads-up Jaz.  I forgot about my Facebook Photo Album.

Well this is a first Jaz, I'm going to (mildly) take exception to your post, but just a little bit.  K?  K.

I presume you are alluding to the idea that anyone's Facebook photo might wind up on a Eastern European billboard.  But look again at the sample photo.  It is already a PR photo.  I mean, the children don't look like the parents.  Beside, who would smile like that until the face is ready to break unless getting paid for it?  But, I could be wrong.  Just sayin'.

Heh heh thanks, star. I may be old, but I'm slow.

Yeah, you got it!

Is this a photo you you and your pals when you were kids?

[starrmtn001]

LOL, me too.

[FightTheFuture]

Yep, me and my two brothers. From over 40 years ago.

Looks like it was taken in a Photo Booth.  25 cents for a strip of four frames.  Boy, does that take me back (no, I'm not saying how far lol).

Exactly lol. My elderly mother had just found that photo and handed it to me. I was overcome with a mixture of emotion and sweet nostalgia. So I clicked a picture of it with my phone

These, little, things have so much more human value than all commercial ventures combined.

This is refreshing to me.    In the past when I was out and about with friends or family, I'd notice something in ruin or just plain old and feel compelled to take a picture.  So I'd grab my cellphone and snap pictures.  They thought I was weird.  Why do you want to take a picture of a rusty light post in an empty parking lot?  I never really gave an answer.  To me it was seeing it in it's current state and imagining what the surroundings were like when it was a bright shiny new light post. 

A lot of my pics I just deleted off my phone or were lost for whatever reason.  I'm inspired to start clicking away again.

Looking at your photo reminded me of the photos my Mom showed me with her and her brothers.  They are great pics but somehow I feel sad when I see them.  Maybe it's the reminder of how time goes by so fast and moments are lost unless in a photograph or memory.  Memories can be fuzzy though.    *sigh*  No, this isn't a tear on my keyboard.  It's just sweat.  Yeah...has to be that....

[Evil Twin Of Zen]

a couple of photos. i also like to manipulate images.

Get out there and shoot! It's up to the rest of us to document the abandoned. As a society, we don't value things and places. We let them self-destruct for no good reason. Today, I spent the day in a 125-year-old abandoned downtown building. Original wood, wallpaper layered on wallpaper, horse stables in the basement, etc. It's just sitting there.   I have more shots from yesterday that I still need to upload.
