I wonder......

5Last post told you of how my son and I went out to find something abandoned. Worked on a couple more of the photos from that trip to show off. The first place we found was located next to a public parking area for state land. That's where we parked and we hiked a bit down the trail then veered off toward the crumbling barn and falling house. Of course we were trespassing, BUT we were following other foot prints. We stopped at the barn and took some photos then moved on to the house. The good news, it's was so bad, we couldn't have went in anyway, which I promised my husband I would NOT do. Here is a shot to show you how that looked, with a little some editing of course:

I don't know if I am extremely happy with this one, but I like it so it's hard for me to say, I am open to opinions!

These shots are some older ones that I found when I was cleaning out my bridge to makes space on my computer.

That's all I got right now, currently working on more and I spent today out finding more abandonment!

What with the weather and all...

So In the last two weeks, it has been crazy!  Last week there was a snow storm, and last night there was a super wet snow that resulted in a mess and no school!   When there is a lot of snow I like to get out and take photos for my yearly winter photos and I have a blast driving in the snow, but I also have to take care of my husband too because he is out there plowing and he won't stop and get himself food so I take him food and drinks and tools and what ever else he needs!

This last weekend my son and I went out to find something abandoned, if you remember from previous post, that is my favorite thing to shoot and I would really like to get some models to go along with me and be my contrasting element--girl in a pretty dress with crumbling abandonment around them.  Well we didn't find as many as we wanted to, but here are a few that I have played with:

I have added my own texture, and then a gradient and other little tid bits as well
This one below is one of my favorites.

These ones will be posted on imagekind.com for sale.

Now I am hoping to have a couple models this week to show off. Until then, I will cross my fingers that facebook will not suck up so much time and I will get some more photos edited for your viewing pleasure!
