Again I am one week older, strange that I don't feel so at all.

At the start of this week I did drive 150 km searching for new ones. I did find one really beautiful place, but location were quite bad: all trees were chop away and nearest house were... too near. I probably must wait few years and then...

So everything from that trip were visit to this old one friend... There were also happen "death of forest" since my last visit at last spring. Everything changes...



Autumn Sadness:





Those Roses:





Inside Nothing Changes:







...and then there were this new find. Actually I didn't find it - it is in place from where you just couldn't find it unless someone tells you about it. I don't be connected my relatives almost at all, but at last spring I did help my godfather with some small building things and back then his wife did told that there are house near that's been un-living for last 40 years and I should photograph it. My godfather did disagree... So I didn't go there then. But now I did. And it was fucking paradise! Lot of old cars and tractors, boats and machines at yard and house with doors open... And what even more amazing: abandoned Ford Country Squire! I really love that car, especially because my brother have similar. Heart did pound and I did think: should I photograph first outside or inside the house. No need to answer - I did see car coming there about 50 meters away. I did leave then. You can believe how that place haunts my mind now, especially that Country Squire. I must return, some day.



Inside or Outside First?





Slowly Dying Mercedes:





Slowly Shall It Fade Away:







And then to this day. At morning one old work mate did contact me in Facebook asking: do you know that there are abandoned playground... This is really small town and I've always known that side is really... something different and I visited there many times, but never back side of those houses. Now I did. Mood were quite amazing. Drunken yelling all around (it was friday evening) and then this playground where I must return; this time light did fade away too quickly - exposures were about 30 seconds to get this much light.



Forget Us:





Let the Children Come:





Swing, Swing Silently:





This Concrete Jungle:





Where Light Don't Ever Find It's Way:





Most hilarious thing in this madness is that there have been some kind of campaign going on for some time, which main point is that Forssa (this town) is best place for children.

Hey, there ain't good, bad, great or shit what comes to photographing; world is filled with at least 5 billion taste, most of them different comparing to others - who can say what really is good then? What looks great to one, is shit to others (one thing that photo selling have teached me very well). So only way to do it right is photograph what you like and how you like - then it feels good and that is most important thing. And if someone gets something from results, it makes it even better.

God damned, second pint and I'm already getting philosophical.

Well, saturdays recipe was few pints --> end of my whiskey bottle --> vodka.

And I would say that whole neighborhood is quite... tired. Postapocalypse or something like that.
