One from the archives that I never had a chance to scan properly. Now that I’m at school, I can scan up to what looks like a 16×20 transparency… or close to it. It’s a flatbed Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL. But the sweet scanner is the Imacon drum scanner that I can do my 4×5 and 120 film with. Very exciting indeed. I’m learning so much.

I’m really fond of this image. Anyone else?

Beside the house.

The side of that house. I finally got in the darkroom tonight to make some contact sheets of this work. I think the prints will turn out pretty nicely.

Yet another from the house outside of Bostwick, GA.

Also, did I already mention my SCAD-ATL blog over on CrazyWalker? Well, either way, I updated it tonight.

Another from that creepy house. The columns there were fantastic.

I was thinking of the columns at this house and was reminded of an image by Raymond Meeks I had seen awhile back. The image was taken at the Windsor Ruins.

So as I was looking through these images again, I thought I’d see if I could find any new work online by Meeks. A few years ago, I remembered he had a web site, but it was abruptly taken down. Then tonight, I found that he had apparently brought it back to life. I just love his work from the Salt Lake City Olympics. Makes me wish I could go assist him or something. And you should buy his book Sound of Summer Running.

I found this amazing abandoned house outside of Bostwick, GA shortly after moving to Atlanta. It was only this past week that I was able to develop the film I shot inside the house.

What’s crazy is I was watching that new show Vanished on Fox and saw what I believe is the exterior and interior of that house in the first episode. If you’ve seen it, it’s the scene where they’re across the street from a house and looking for signs of life inside with some kind of heat sensing binoculars. When they enter the house, they find a dead body on the second floor.

So after seeing that episode, I was compelled to revisit the house, even though it’s something like 70 miles from our apartment. It’s a pretty creepy place, but it’s on a main roadway, so there’s plenty of traffic driving by all the time. The doors are completely open, and the house is emptied out. There are something like 6 or 8 fireplaces, and 9 or 10 rooms. And no one seems to know what the deal is with it.

Since Google Maps is awesome, you can see this house via the satellite view. The other buildings around it are all abandoned as well, but I don’t believe they’re associated.

You can see it in B&W as well.

This was the tank that could’ve passed as a giant Imax screen the way it was presented. It was pretty impressive.

Taken at the Georgia Aquarium, which cost WAY too much to enter.
