Walked our fragile and forgotten.Some to go forth and live,others to finish the task started upon them through no hand of their own. / A doorway of light and life to the lucky,a prison to those less capable,a place to live out their life hidden from the rest of us. / Main entryway,Intake and Admissions / Cottingley Institute for the Developmentally Disabled

I found this still life in an abandonded house where it seemed as though the occupants had just walked out one day.I touched nothing-I very rarely do touch the abandonded.Anyway the more I looked at this still life before me, the more I saw.Hopefully you’ll see something here as well-enjoy.

Another shot with a bit of selective colouring. The graffiti on the back wall really caught my eye.

It gets lonely here now.We talked a lot years ago-when there were people here.Gave us meaning I suppose.We talked even after the place was closed down,after all the kids left.Some of them were cruel-they kicked at us.Not much light in his corner anymore-the windows are choked out by the trees outside.He doesn’t say much now as we sit here.People do come to see us sometimes-people with cameras or kids with booze and paint cans.They leave.They all leave. Photo taken at the Cottingley Institute for the Developmentally Disabled-or what’s left of it….............

I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in / And stops my mind from wandering / Where will it go / I’m filling the cracks that ran through the door / And kept my mind from wandering / Where will it go / And it really doesn’t matter if i’m wrong / I’m right / Where i belong i’m right / Where i belong. / See the people standing there who disagree and never win / And wonder why they don’t get in my door. / I’m painting my room in the colourful way / And when my mind is wandering / There i will go. / And it really doesn’t matter if / I’m wrong i’m right / Where i belong i’m right / Where i belong. / Silly people run around they worry me / And never ask me why they don’t get past my door. / I’m taking the time for a number of things / That weren’t important yesterday / And i still go. / I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in / And stops my mind from wandering / Where it will go. Thanks to John, Paul,George and Ringo for the title and commentary….........

Using the rule of thirds to help me out with this one. I was amazed at how time made the paint crack and peel yet the color is still as vibrant as ever.

Knightsbridge Psychiatric,Patient Services Building if I recall correctly.

Unreal places to be hidden away.Reality and a dreamworld become one.Silently thinking thoughts of places known before this one.Terrors real and wondered about.Retreat back to your room,some solace here where you keep your things.Old pictures,tokens of a life lived before this place,some dignity.Not a dream though,this was real for so many inside these walls. / Going through this decay a guy with a camera sees this sad world.Bringing light to it for a moment his task at hand.Embraced by this strangely sad place he wonders about those that lived here,so many did.Children for the most part he knows from research.He hopes some got out intact, and now live happily somewhere. Cottingley Institute for the Developmentally Disabled.

So, I’ve just dropped the GF off at work and as I’m heading home I find this disused garage. The doors are broken and I take a look inside the old workshop. Hmmm nothing here but an old busted up arcade game with its chair… so I grab my trusty camera and my monopod and set the chair up in the middle of the workshop. Now apart from the hole in the roof and the light from the door its dark in here, so I set the timer on the camera to 20 secs so as to avoid any camera shake. I took a few pics and then thought I’d have a smoke and a think about what else I could do with this place. So I switched the camera off (or so I thought, I’d actually pressed the shutter button instead) and sat down to think about the hole in the roof and the light coming through it… Click went the camera. So here’s the result… Me trespassing and smoking a cigarette in somebody’s workplace. Either way you look at it I’m now a criminal an I’m just waiting for the knock at the door!

Sometimes you have to step WAY out of the box, For me this is that shot. / Pam took us to an old abandonded building in Lafayette. Who knows how long it has been this way. Jonathan and I tried to get in but it was locked up tighter than a drum, next time I will make sure I have my bobby pins with me so we can get in!!! / This shot to you just looks like a hole in the wall. But to me its so much more. / Its a beggining, an end, a middle, something that needs to be fixed or something that doesn’t, no matter how we look at it, its just there…..Waiting for something or someone to make it right!!! / 3 shot HDR processed in Photomatix and enhanced in LR / Mr Nikon D60 DSLR /

Cockatoo Island Machine Shop – Sydney, Australia, 16th May 2009. The HDR group had a meet-up on Cockatoo Island that coincided with a large group of artists also meeting there. The old abandoned machine shop with its rusty lathes and mills etc made for an interesting place to photograph. I spied this lady drawing an old lathe with the sun shining through the window, perfectly lighting up her drawing paper and asked if she’d be ok with a photo and she happily agreed. I decided to use HDR to bring out the detail in the old lathe and the time ravaged walls and brickwork, but also to show the amazing greenish glow of light that was coming through the tinted upper window panels. If anyone recognises the lady artist in the foreground, let me know as I’d like to send her a copy. Nikon D90, Nikkor 18-55 DX f22, 18mm, 3 exposures of mtr, -2 & +2 2, 1 & 10 sec, HDR’d in Photomatix, Iphoto.
