Although I never actually found the fire, The drive was nice and I managed to bring home a couple of shots worth sharing. I'll throw in a couple more from the other night to make it a little more exciting.
The following photos are from the other night. A couple are self portraits that I took with a tripod and timer. I had been to this house before, but I had to go back....When I first started seeking abandoned houses, it was very hard for me to take my time inside them. Even after making sure there was no animals living inside, I still found myself rushing, a lot of the times not even bringing the tripod in. Which in low light situations doesn't usually produce good results.
Couple reasons I am uncomfortable.
1: People...I have been in a couple corners where people are grilling me, asking me what I am doing with a camera, what purpose do the photos serve. Once I thought a guy was going to resort to violence, not something I want any part of. Also, 90 percent of the time, someone owns the property you are visiting. This worries me, as I don't know what kind of answer I would come up with if I was ever confronted coming out of the house by its owner.
2: Structural.... I sell toilets for a living, I don't build houses. My eye for structural damage isn't very experienced. Not that big of an issue in the summer, but paramount in the winter. Snow is heavy.
Anyways, here they are and if you want to see more, visit my Flickr page.
And finally one from Hazelwood Lake Conservation Area. See the foot print?? I thought it would add interest to the image. what do you think?
