easily one of the grandest and most ornate asylums ever built, / algonquin river state hospital was a cause of great local controversy during construction / due to running far over budget. the extravagance is evident in the beautiful masonry, / the ornamental woodwork, the stained glass windows with their decorative yet functional iron grating. / olmsted, the man who designed central park, laid out the grounds and the span of the wings / is half a mile, if you walked end to end. / to do so now is impossible. / in an ironic twist, the much-contested (and extremely expensive) yellow pine floors / fared far less impressively over time than those made of other, cheaper materials. / the epic scale of the structural collapse, combined with a devastating fire last summer, / make algonquin river state hospital quite possibly the most deadly building in existence. / floors like the one shown here / give way into gaping abysses, punji pits full of sharp, splintered boards / fanning out from the basement like jagged teeth in the ever-hungry mouth of death itself. / to take this photo i had to make it from the crumbling doorway on the left / onto the sagging mess in the extreme foreground. the floor shifted beneath my feet / and my added weight sent dust and debris cascading ominously into oblivion below. / it was quite possibly the most frightening moment of my life, second only to the one / where i had to get back into the doorway with no real solid ground to support me as i inched closer. / i may not be terribly afraid of death. i may even frequently wish for it. / i am, however, afraid of being paralyzed, of falling onto a rotted shard of floorboard and / laying impaled and broken for hours, with no real help available. i am not too proud / to admit that i wanted nothing more than to stay in the relative safety of the door frame, / or that i am glad that i will never again have to make the nerve-wracking leap of faith / back to the only exit. / that being said, i would do it again if i had to. there is no better example than algonquin / that all things fall apart, and i feel a certain kinship with it. we are both collapsing inside, / and it is an odd thing to see before your very eyes what you imagine / your own heart looks like. / very odd indeed. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- photo taken at algonquin river state hospital. all rights reserved. / more of my work is available on abandonedamerica.org

I am currently working through my third CS3 tutorial and I picking up a ton of useful tips for my photographic workflow. I just HAD to share this one with you. Regarding Hue/Saturation. When you overdo this on an adjustment layer in your photos your detail is lost and it looks really blocky. Sometimes you just can’t get the saturation adjustments you need. Here’s how its done – Thank you to Chris Orwig for this one. 1) Open you image and convert it to LAB colour using: Image – Mode – Lab Colour 2) Create a curves adjustment layer 3) In the Curves dialog box ALT-click the grid to get a more detailed display 4) Go to the a – channel 5) Pull the black slider on the bottom of the grid into the right just one grid line (in this example although you can play!) 6) Pull the white slider opposite into the left by the same one grid line 7) Switch to the b channel and repeat. 8) Check out your image. This method actually increases saturation in tones you couldn’t even see that you had. Its excellent for autumn leaves or rivers and waterfalls. 9) When your done exit Curves dialog and convert your image back to RGB (select to Flatten in the pop up prompt) 10) Your all done. This is by far the best tip I’ve discovered so far. I tried it out of interest on a shot from this afternoon and it brought out lovely greens in Autumn leaves and a lovely hazy blue on water and waterfalls. Try it – I think you will like it! :D

These Glads are growing in my garden. This year, they are the reddest I have ever seen them. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of them. The other colors are deeper than usual too. I wonder if the weather conditions this summer enhanced their colors. Or maybe it’s all just to make me happy!

These are two photos I shot. The background was the sky one evening over Ft. Pierce Florida. And the other is a Turkey Vulture I had taken a photo of at our local zoo. I’ve post edited both photos in PS CS2. / Turkey Vultures ave a highly developed sense of smell, and are able to detect carrion by that sense alone, from very long distances. The carrion is detected long before it starts rotting too much, vultures will avoid eating badly rotten flesh, possibly because of lethal bacteria, & prefer fresh meat (in fact will often bathe after eating). The larger vultures have keen eyesight & a poorer sense of smell, relying on the smaller vultures to find the carrion & then chasing them off. Some of the larger vultures prefer to eat the parts that the smaller ones can’t (such as the skin & tough tendons), leaving the rest for the smaller vultures. Early theories on the success of Turkey vultures included a highly developed sense of hearing able to detect the sound of flies around the carcass, the ability to spot small flesh eating rodents heading towards the carcass and an “occult” sense that humans could not detect. Other vultures do use sight to detect carrion, both directly & by observation of other vultures heading down towards the carcass. / Turkey vultures do NOT eat live animals. They will not hurt your pets or children. / A group of vultures is called a “Venue”. Vultures circling in the air are a “Kettle”. / American Vultures can smell, but African vultures cannot. The Turkey Vulture has the best sense of smell of the American vultures. The Vulture poop is actually a sanitizer! Their uric acid is so strong (because of the nature of their diets) that it kills bacteria. / Vultures have excellent eyesight, but, like all other birds, they have poor vision in the dark. American vultures find food both with their eyesight and sense of smell. / Vultures prefer to eat fairly fresh meat. They will turn their nose up at rotten meat if there is any alternative available. They also prefer the meat of herbivorous animals, avoiding that of dogs and other carnivores.
