Abandoned Amtrak Station (Black and White Series)

Same Amtrak Station mentioned in previous post. These photos just looked better in b-and-w. In the great question of black and white vs. color, this further leads credence to the fact that it all is relative. Thank you, Einstein.

Thanks! I appreciate the praise as much as the critique - anybody who feels that this is shit work I'd like to hear from too! That's what I posted for - improvement is always in order.

Aww maaaaaaaaaaan! I love train stations more than life. Real life ones and abandoned ones. Abandoned ones give me the HEEBIE-JEEBIES, thinking of the people that were once bustling around on them on a busy day. Maybe because at certain times of day, ACTIVE trains stations often appear abandoned, so there's a strange connection.

Sorry.

Photographically, train stations are so rich with things to shoot. Frankly, I'd like to see fewer generic hallway/closeup shots and more stuff like the tracks, the clock in that main room, and that sepiatoned one. Shoot the things that make the location what it is. I'm not trying to impose, shoot whatever you want, just a thought.

Compositionally, also, they seem a little skewed to the left and right sometimes? I dunno if you scanned prints or whatever and the scan did it, but it'd improve your shots tenfold if you just made sure they were a little more deliberate-looking. Luckily you're shooting a sweet location whose uniqueness overpowers picky, compositional elements. I certainly dig them, overall, though.

If you have a larger/higher resolution version of the last one (sundries), I would very much like to have it.
