Colors





I took over 100 photos in about an hour yesterday. It was sad that there were so many abandoned, boarded-up places just minutes from my home. But the photos, like the one above, didn't stand out for me.



This one did - and I did it by swinging my camera around with a slow shutter speed. I got back in my car and started shooting "from the hip" - experimenting with different shutter speeds, exposure, and angles.

I like the style... a bit chaotic. I think it matches the feel of driving down the streets, seeing the decay at the edges of our vision - only to look away and keep driving.
