On going Series I call 'Facade Stories'

Walls, Facades, tell Tales. Here are some images that can tell you a story of now missing buildings.

A couple samples:

What, no interest in this sort of shooting at all?

I really like the idea. I have tried to take shots like that and never been able to make them interesting enough to others.

I love how you can see the stairs and a little of the life lived next to that wall.

Thank you for looking, TPBinKC. I know this isn't glamorous Wildlife or Exotic Landscape, but I think there is something to be gained form looking at old stuff like this.

I agree there is something to be gained.

I missed this post at first, but I'm glad I finally noticed it. I have taken a number of similar shots and enjoyed seeing yours. I am fascinated by the story that is told by them and the way they seem to compress time. I love the stairways in #2.

Well done.

Thank you Marc and Richard. I started theis just a few months ago. Here where I live I'm running out of material. GOT to get to other places soon.

Don,

I've often seen such buildings and the designs the destruction reveals in the side. I never thought to do a series on them!

I think the patterns in the brick have a lot of potential with the geometric shapes and seemingly illogical lines, but it's difficult to isolate these details and still give context to what you're looking at. I do think a lot of the stuff around the edges (trees, constructions equipment) is a bit distracting, like Molsondog said.

Good luck with the rest of your project, and I hope you get to travel for this!

Thanks all for looking. At this point they are all Editorial shots. Only been through Lightroom for basic adjustments and some cropping, at times.

I do plan to take some of them through PSCS, when I have time, for straightening, cloning, etc.

Thanks for all the kind words.

A series like this is fun! Especially hunting them out. I added some last night to the Gallery. And switch a few I had shot the day before that I had mistakenly shot at 3200 in broad daylight.
