From Riches To Rags (End of year thread 2018/2019)

Hey all, it's been a while since I've visited these forums and I realize I failed to put up any photos at all from 2018 or 2019. The last two years have been all depression and chaos but what else could make for better photography. Colorado isn't the best urbex location unless you're able to make substantial road trips, which I am not. Most locations are trashed, boarded or quickly gentrified. I've found peace and solace in vacant homesteads, which are often small and empty but line the major roads as an homage to the pioneers who settled here in the 1800s. Regardless, here's what I've been able to make of the local abandonments as well as the vaporwave artwork I've made to vent my darker reflections.

So glad you posted this. Super great to see you back here!

Exploring means different things in different areas. Got a year and a half I didn't think. I had anything to explore where I moved. Then I realized, it's just different than what I'm used to.

Lots of great photos here.

Great pics! Got me wanting a vaporwave mix with urbex.

I have a buddy who I met from college in Colorado. Tells me the same things. A lot of settlements and houses is where he primarily shoots at.

Thanks Dustin! I kinda forgot about UER and I spend my time on Flickr. I miss seeing you there. Hope you find something that uplifts you to shoot where you are!

Thank you! It takes a lot more creativity on my part to shoot out here but at least it's helped my skills and process

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear of your inspiration. I didn't expect that people would be compelled towards their own artwork over anything I'd made.

I also completed this piece recently...

Man I am so glad to see you back, I was actually thinking of you when I put up my year in review thread a while back. You made a comment on one of my annual review posts a few years back that has always stuck with me!

Nothing wrong with houses and shacks, they make you work harder for the shot and you have done incredibly well here.

Keep shooting and come by more often!

Hey, good to see you again! These are all great shots, I’m really glad you’ve been able to keep exploring despite the drastic change in environment. I really think your images do a great job of capturing the desolation that defines much of your part of the country.

Ahhh I love so many of these! I want a print of Over The Hill in my living room! That shot is gorgeous (I mean they all are, but I particularly like the ones of the houses). Crash The Party might be my ultimate favorite, though. Thanks for sharing these!

Thanks a ton man, I honestly didn't expect anyone would remember me. You're right though, the locations here may be harder to shoot but they at least challenge you and thus improve skill levels. What was the comment I made that stuck with you? I can't recall!

Thanks man, I appreciate it! For a while I thought of giving up photography since there's little to explore and next to no urbex community here. Everyone just shoots nature and landscapes, which are pretty but honestly bore me to death since it's all you see when you go outside. Like, the mountains are enchanting at first. But eventually you realize they just hang there in the distance every time you drive to work or go to the grocery store. It feels like anyone could shoot that given some practice. Urbex can bring more challenge, and that's why I'm glad I stuck to my roots.

Thank you tons! That's so kind of you, I don't have many people mention wishing to hang my artwork. Out here the houses are often the best locations, which is NOT what I'm used to given the industry and healthcare locations I was used to from New England. I'm really glad to see I only grew with the challenge rather than faded out.

Thank you! I've been really happy to take on this new artistic endeavor and now're days when something bugs the shit out of me or hurts my heart, I find a way to express it via subtly disturbing digital pieces
