Golden Rust

Copyright 2005 Kerry McFarland / I started noticing that when the sun would go down, little flickers would light up everyone’s windows in their house. I’d be out walking (I lived in the desert and it was too hot to do so earlier), with all the beauty outside surrounding me, and silence; Then these houses…flickering. Every night, after 5, I’d see the same thing. I wouldn’t see people sitting outside enjoying the sunset. I wouldn’t see people gathered around a BBQ, I wouldn’t see people out walking with their lovers, enjoying one another. Shades drawn, little flickers. I felt the neglect. So much is going on outside, yet many people spend countless hours watching a little box. What about what’s going on right in their own backyard, their family, their city…their country. The complacency is frightening. That is what this series is about.

I had passed this house many times while driving and had always vowed to take a photo of it, but never got round to it. This house is next to a main road, and I thought that night time would be the best time to get a shot of it. I got there at about 11pm, and it was very creepy there at that time, even though there were cars going past. For this shot, I set up a tripod and had my flash off camera. This is a long exposure (20 or 30 seconds) and I used the ‘painting with light’ technique. I activated the shutter remotely then walked past the front of the house firing the flash multiple times. I have done some editing work in Lightroom and Photoshop to really bring out the creepy quality of this decaying home. The house is at the top of Main South Road, O’Halloran Hill, South Australia.

what a strange thing, to die in your sleep / not to have your spirit violently expelled by some calamitous event, / but rather to have it silently stolen away as though by a thief in the night / never to be seen again, nor to even be known as lost. / and if death itself is like sleep, as some say, it is stranger still to find yourself / wandering through the dreams of some monstrous thing / that passed away long ago / as only a random figment, to be heard of briefly and then no more. / we do not fear these places because they may contain ghosts - / we fear them because they make us realize that is in fact what we are. / -—-—-—-—-—- / photo taken at mayflower state hospital / please visit www.abandonedamerica.org if you would like to see more of my work.

Sometimes we photographers take photos because they appeal to our eye without realizing that time will eventually erase the image before our eyes. This is the case with this shot… I drove by the abandoned cabin the other day, and was sad to see it had been neglected so long that the roof had caved in, and that the corners were giving way. Canon 40D, f 13, 1/8, focal length 100mm, Spring Gulch, Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
