A ‘lost’ graveyard in Hackey, London

This image was made from 2 photos and about 1000 layers/pieces, it took about 12 hours editing to complete. This is another image from the same fantastic ruined building in my home town….. I have been slowly over the past year experimenting and playing with these kind of hockney style collages/joiners, and have kind of created my own style of joiners… I’d be pleased to know what you think. :)

This is my latest joiner, made from a 360 panorama and contains about 12000 layer/pieces, it took about 20 hours on photoshop to complete…

Near my gran’father’s farm, in “la Nièvre”, a lost country in center of France, these two old “ladies” were waiting, blind and exhausted, their forbidden owner…. I used to play in this car, mainly used as hen shelter… then , I was on a long motorway, going through desert land or tracking gangsters !!... It was a really nice playground ! lol !

a year ago today, algonquin river state hospital nearly ceased to exist. / they say the fire was caused by lightning from a dramatic storm that night, / although there are many theories that the disaster was more of a manmade variety. / since the structure is on the historic register and cannot be demolished outright, / some say that the lightning rod was removed on purpose, and as algonquin stands proudly / overlooking the town from a hilltop, it was inevitable that this would be the result. / such an action would constitute arson; any removal of a fire prevention device that / results in a fire is a crime… but who can or will ever prove such a thing? / another strong possibility is that a photographer known in the circles of those who haunt / abandoned buildings to be a destructive, spiteful coward started the blaze. / this was the person who pried the beautiful terra cotta mosaics off of the walls / of oceanvista state hospital and proudly proclaimed beneath that it was his work. / i wasn’t there the night of the fire and i’ve never met him, but i’ve seen the things he’s done. / while i typically do not form opinions solely based on those of others, / i’ve talked to many different people whose word i trust who recount firsthand stories / of what a toxic influence he is, of how eager he is to ruin everything he touches. / what is certain is that he was there that night. he has posted a set of photos on the internet, / taken from a high vantage point inside the building and suspiciously well timed, / that follow the flames as they race ever higher, ever faster, / consuming the entire ward in what must have been / a tremendously gratifying display of wonton devastation to someone / whose only real achievements are tearing things around him apart. / i suppose it doesn’t matter. the end result is the same. / the fire was of such scale that it is difficult to even imagine; / by FDNY standards it was a six alarm blaze. when the hospital was open it / was so large that it had its own fully staffed fire department, / but those days were long gone. even the fire hydrants didn’t work, / so miles of large diameter hose had to be laid to support the crews. / walls were torn down to prevent the fire from spreading to the administration building, / and the firefighters remained for days wetting hot spots. / all in all, it was a heroic effort. despite the fact that the building was empty, / despite the sheer magnitude of the firestorm and the difficulty in combatting it, / the myriad of departments on the scene prevailed. / you might not know it, to see the remains of the wing and the gaping holes in the brick… / but when you look at the stunning facade of the administration building, / when you run your hands along the exquisite railings on the stately main staircase inside, / when you stop to admire the delicate stone carvings that adorn the pillars on the porches, / you can see why it was so important that they were there, why it was so critical / that algonquin river state hospital survived that night. even though the fire crews / probably don’t know or care what their work made possible for me and the few other pilgrims / who make the sojourn to see algonquin’s august remains, even though time and nature / will eventually complete the job the fire started, today she still stands. / it was quite literally a trial by fire. i’m glad she survived. photo taken at algonquin river state hospital. / more of my work is available on www.abandonedamerica.org

The now abandoned Morisset Psychiatric Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Taken inside the former Operations Room of the now-abandoned Red Cliff Radar Station. The ladder actually leads up to a section of the second floor that has no other discernible access. The ruins are in complete disrepair, but are used frequently by both hikers and paintball enthusiasts. More from this series For more information (and photos dating back to the 1950s) of this historic site, please visit the Red Cliff History section of the Unofficial Logy Bay – Outer Cove – Middle Cove website.

some places you just can’t get into. this one is gutted and torn wide open but the intrances on street level are concreted shut. what a shame.

A derelict cottage that I drive past often – I always feel that it is waiting – for what or whom I wonder? My thanks to Stephanie Shimerdla for use of her wonderful Bird Brushes.
