More Outdoor Indoor Living

Some more outdoor indoor living… This one was in a abandoned building behind the hospital.

It was taken through a window which gave it the fake tilt/ shift look.

Chair

There is something about chairs and abandonment… Something that makes the absence of people more noticeable maybe…

Door To Nowhere

Seems like a strange place to put a door…

Outdoor Indoor Living

These people obviously haven’t mown their carpet in quite a while…

Abandoned

Twisted Metal

Concrete reinforcing after the first stage of demolition… I took this last Tuesday and will go back again today to see how they are getting on… I expect it will be quite different…

Broken Glass

From an Urbex (Urban Exploration) with Fergus from 3 or 4 weeks ago… It seemed to be some sort of equipment rental place and only newly broken into so damage was minimal. I still had colour in the camera from shooting at the sevens… I have a whole series I shot on digital which I will put up at some stage…

Of Times Forgot

I love finding stuff like this where nature is slowly reclaiming what humans have placed in the landscape… This is only a couple of minutes from the centre of Wellington…

Burnt Out Building Half Frame And A Dresden Dolls Story

This image is a bit of a filler for today (sorry)… Why you ask? Well…

Yesterday when I got home from work and was checking stuff on the net I came across Amanda Palmer who was giving some tickets to her Dresden Dolls away if you tweeted your name and reason you wanted to go. Being slightly cheeky I tweeted that I had a 57 Rolleiflex that wanted to meet her and even though I just missed the cutoff I got a ticket but told I owed her a photo 🙂

Well I took Rollei along and even though there were some signs saying the usual don’t take photos or recordings I busted it out and took about 3 films worth (Amanda Palmer told me to)

Im currently developing those films and they will make up a post either later tonight or early tomorrow.

So if you like the Dresden Dolls come back and have a look shortly 🙂

By the way the show was freaking AMAZING! Thank you Amanda Palmer for the ticket!

Pomare: The First Time

These shots are mostly from when I went to Pomare the first time. I have only managed to develop and scan the film these were on recently and things have change quite a bit since this.

The shots after this are from when I went back the third time. The big piles of rubble are no longer there and more houses have fences around them that are destined to be demolished. I will probably end up going back a few more times to see how things are progressing.

Abandoned Service Station

Spotted this while driving round Upper Hutt a week or so ago. The amusing thing with this shot for me was that when we pulled up I parked directly opposite  with the plan of using the car for a tripod. Unfortunately the car was too close and since I only wanted to move it a couple of metres I got Fergus (Cunningvision)to take the handbrake off and pushed it back. Just as I was doing this a kid walked past and gave me a WTF kind of look 🙂 I guess i was pushing the car away form the petrol station 🙂

Cunningvision and Yashica 124G

A shot of Fergus (Cunningvision) and his Yashica 124G TLR at an abandoned lawn bowling place by where he lives in Petone.
