Decay. What the heck is it that attracts photographers to decay? Go to any ghost town, unmaintained cemetery, abandoned warehouse, or other decaying bit of civilization and count the number of people you see visit it. I'll be that more than half will end up being photographers. We just can't resist. I once considered starting a Decay Documenters Anonymous, a twelve stop program (wait, I mean step) to help you control your urge to crawl through old collapsing buildings and structures. But that would be silly, because old buildings like this office in a stamp mill are great for photography. The attraction is simple: they're full of interesting detail and they don't move. Essentially, they're giant still life sets that allow you to take the time to create complex compositions. Do make sure your tetanus booster is up to date, but don't be afraid of such locations. Indeed, all across the country we've got sites that actually cater to photographers, including a big one here in Southeastern Pennsylvania I'll eventually get around to writing about. I've written before about practicing photography. Well, there's no better place to do so than to spend a day or two in one of these fascinating locales. |
