And the Light Still Shines
Aren’t you glad this isn’t your home??
My husband and I drove by this abandoned house the other day. This is the first time I’ve been able to get inside one. Usually I’m toting the kids, and can only get a quick shot of the outside. Oh man, this place was TRASHED! But so fun to photograph! Unfortunantly, I didn’t have a tripod, nor was there really anything to use as one, so only a couple of my HDR shots didn’t turn out a complete blury.

Blinkin awesome work, I would love to get in a trash hole like this, bet you took loads of shots in here, greatvwork Karri..
Karri Klawiter replied
I did, but I didn’t have a tripod, and the lighting was low, so most turned out blurry! It was so depressing, there were some really cool shots that are unsalvagable.
Thank you for the gracious words!

Karri Klawiter replied

artchicnj
Great shot….makes you wonder what made the occupants leave so much behind (although the furniture is now useless) .
Karri Klawiter replied
Odd thing was, every room had furniture, and the back room and basement were full of stoves, washer/driers, etc. I think people were dumping old apliances there.
Adriana Glackin
Gosh, it makes you wonder what happened to the owners to leave it in the sate it’s in. Is it fire damaged as well?
Karri Klawiter replied
No, you really don’t want to know what most the mess is.
