Worn Out And Used Up

I like the the angle in which you shot the first one. The weather seems to fit the look of the structure ... gloomy.

The second photo ... my favorite

All the pieces of what looks like fake bricks falling every which way really makes it so interesting. Did you get a close up of that .. abstractie looking. Almost like life in general .. we go this way and that way .. till we finally settle in. This place looks settled in.

Cool .. I like how the light bulb lights up the billboard. So many neat little things to look at in one photo

Hi Mary,

I often think of you when I'm shooting scenes like this.....knowing how you like this kind of old stuff.

I like your idea of getting a close-up abstract of the old garage. I have to be on my toes, though, when taking a picture of this place. The crotchety old codger who owns it has run me off before. He lives next-door and I think he must eat, sleep, and live on the porch. The old garage hasn't been used for years but, if you stop to shoot it, he comes charging off the porch at you.

Happy holidays,

Tom

Yes I do like these old places ... there is just something about them that I can't put into words.

Amazing how fast an older guy can run Bet he'd be a hoot to talk with. Guys like that usually have many interesting stories to tell.

Does he own the old place? Hope you can get a closer shot sometime ... just have your runnin' shoes on

Now that would make a great shot.

Love the first one.

I'm with Richard--next time, grab a shot of the old guy running at you. It might be your last shot at this location but it could be a doozy!

I like both shots. Mary's right about the weather--it fits the subjects nicely and gives some subtle lighting. Makes the colors in the McCullough sign stand out!

Hi Richard,

Thanks for looking in. I agree it would make a great shot. I just don't want to be the photographer. The old guy's next move is probably unleashing the dogs on you.

Happy holidays,

Tom

Hey Lauren,

See my response ( above ) to Richard. This is a crusty old mountain man y'all want me to screw around with. Hell, he probably hunts squirrels with a throwing knife. When he starts in my direction....I'm outa there, pronto.:D:D

Take care,

Tom

I like them both, Tom. Those old barns make for great picture opportunities. Are these taken in N.C. ? :Dgary
