After losing my HDD recently I have been dreading the rework of most of my images from the last several years. Luckily I did not lose the actual image files, just my edits and creative changes. Looking on the bright side though, this will allow me to update my portfolio and try out some new editing techniques that I did not have back then.
My first album to be reworked is one of my favorites of course. It includes my Abandon properties. Properties that are Abandon or at least appear that way have always intrigued me. Something about them, makes me wonder what they were like in their hay-day. What people thought when they were first completed, or used regularly. I also like to see how nature has started to re-claim them. Another reason I like to shoot these properties is for a record of what was once there. Many of these properties should and will be torn down to make room for something new.
One major problem with abandon properties, is they tend to become damaged by more than just nature. This vandalism can add an artistic value, but it does show a major disrespect for personal property. When shooting these types of properties, I will make every attempt to get permission from the rightful owners. If that is not possible, then I will shoot what is visible without trespassing.
