 |  | Journey to the End of the World
< on 6/28/2010 5:25 AM >
|  | | | Some buddies and I took a trip down to Plaquemines Parish. I admit it, we didn't get as far as the end of the world. We didn't even make it past Port Sulphur. That being said, we had a great trip with some wonderful places to explore.
This first set was taken on film, and it features the old courthouse at Point a la Hache. This courthouse fell victim to arson in 2002, weathered Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the vast majority of the structure remains standing to this day.
We had a great trip, ate the best shrimp po-boys in the world, and drove home satisfied.

| | | | Nice photos. I like the colors and tones, especially on the sixth and seventh ones.
reckless thoughts abide; anachronistic and impulsive.

Great set.

Thanks. I have never shot a location with film before, and I'm glad it turned out as well as it did.

| | | | I've got some more shots from the trip. Our next location was shrouded in thick undergrowth, and I only had a 50mm lens. I ended up being much too close to everything to do this place justice. It's an old factory of some sort, buried in the woods--we spotted the chimney from the highway on our way back home.
This looked very dramatic from the road, as vultures were circling it and perching on the top.
I opened up the hatch on the side of the chimney and found these remains
I honestly have no idea what kind of facility this used to be, but I'll see if I can dig up any historical information.

| | | | I really like 5 on this second post... looks like ribs, and I'm generally not one to seek out symbolism. Was that intentional?

It was more luck than a deliberate effort at symbolism. I just stumbled from behind some bushes and saw exactly what is in the frame of that picture--it looked skeletal, I liked it, and I took a picture.

| | | | Thats awesome. I need to try and use film again sometime. We all sometimes take digital photography and photoshop for granted.... (**cough cough over manipulated HDR's cough cough**) It's good to get back to the root of it...

| | | | Amazing shots.
The processing/coloration of the film pictures are just perfect.
Also, the bird skull was a cool find.

Thanks. And the processing/coloration was a product of Walgreen's 1-hour photo service. If anyone wants to get their film processed there, I wouldn't advise getting the pictures on a cd. Only 1.3 megapixels per photo--not worth paying for.

Yeah, I just used a run-of-the-mill flatbed scanner on the prints from Walgreens. It didn't get the contrast quite right, but otherwise they turned out fine.
