Wordless & Wordful Wednesday - Abandoned
Wed, January 27, 2010 Have I shared that I love shooting landscapes? I do. It helps me understand shadows, and how light falls. It helps open the creative part of my mind that I can then, hopefully, carry over to my portrait work.
Yesterday I decided to take a quick drive to an area that is filled with creepy abandoned buildings. The site is home to a psychiatric center. Majority of the buildings are still populated, however, there are a few that have been abandoned and demolished. Here are my favorite shots from the day:

Perfect horror movie set! Great pictures.
Fantastic series! Gorgeous texture...love the feeling ,atmosphere and vibe this all evokes! Fabulous work!
As soon as I saw the photos, before I read the captions, I knew this was an old abandoned psych facility. You captured its beauty quite well. I can almost feel the pain of those who suffered behind these walls....
Glad I was this in the morning and not before bed. You captured the creepiness quite well. Now...how about you go back out there late, all by yourself, at night during a thunderstorm? That'd be some good pics too!
Okay... that "was" should have been "saw". :)
Love the grittiness of the colors and images -- something quite romantic about old, beautiful but decaying buildings.
Wow, those are truly gorgeous. I really need to force myself out of this house and shooting more. Thank you for inspiring me!
Stunning shots... so filled with angst and melancholy.
The first and third photos are absolutely incredible, Kim. Just breathtaking..
Wow. I have goosebumps just looking at these photos. What an intriguing landscape. I love the window shot!
beautiful perspective.
Wow, these are fantastic. You captured them perfectly.
I love them all!!
I love people pictures but this stuff just does something for me on a whole different level...love it!
Yikes! That place is creepy, but these shots are awesome.
Do you know there's a name for this type of photography? And there's a huge movement on Flickr?
I LOVE ruins too :)
Totally creepy and beautiful.
These are great! I've been dying to go to a place like this to take pix.
People deserve good life and mortgage loans or term loan would make it better. Because people's freedom depends on money.
