Artwork of an ibex with long curved horns standing on a snowy mountainside created using a macro photograph of an old sign with dark brown paint flaking away from the cream-coloured underlying base and in places edged with blue. The dark ibex is partially hidden and looking to the right.

Rocky Ibex - there's a whole mountainside in a weathered road-sign. It just needed an ibex to help show it.

Artwork of various animals walking through an abstract winter scene created using a macro photograph of an old sign with very dark brown paint flaking away from the cream-coloured underlying base and some flecks of blue. Each animal is in a pair, namely, fallow deer, hares, rabbits, pheasants, crows and starlings.

The building doesn’t ask to be remembered. It simply refuses to disappear — brick by stubborn brick, rising against a sky that has long since moved on. Windows open to nothing. A ghost sign bleeds through the mortar, half a word, half a memory. Whatever commerce once hummed behind these walls has been swallowed whole, leaving only the architecture of absence.

Artwork of a clan of 7 hyenas walking through an abstract scene that could be a cave created using a macro photograph of an old public bench showing its concrete base and patches of orange and blue paint. The dark blue hyena silhouettes stand out against the orange behind them but have flakes of blue paint in front of them.

Graffiti sprawls across a weathered brick facade in Fort Dodge, Iowa — a mural of civic pride rendered in street art’s grammar: bold lettering, stylized faces, city skylines, and the area code claimed like a flag. The building above is indifferent, its ghost signs long faded, windows broken or dark. Below, the wall speaks in a louder, younger voice.

Artwork of a curlew standing in an abstract wetland created using a macro photograph of an old corrugated metal fence with textured layers of weathered flaking paint. In portrait format the dark bird is standing upright near the bottom of the image in what looks like a small pool with lighter colours behind and vague horizontal bands of fine detail above.

Artwork of a flock of small wading birds flying and foraging in an abstract coastal scene created using a macro photograph of an old public bench showing its concrete base and some patches of orange paint. There are 9 birds feeding or standing on the ground and 7 flying. Against the darkest areas of the background the birds are light coloured and vice-versa. The effect is of a wave splashing over the foreground.

Graffiti at abandoned, now razed Nelson Road Water Treatment Plant, Columbus, OH. It was a popular site to photograph.

Sometimes for me, a photo is less about the subject (the parking meter) and more about the fact that I just like taking fucking pictures. I do like the colors in that picture though.

There's always been something unsettling to me about shoes just out in the wild. Makes me wonder what happened to the person wearing them. Given my history, my mind usually goes to dark places. I hope the owners of these shoes are doing fine.

State Of Abandon

A quiet human presence within what time has left behind. Structure fades, but something remains.

A Kanban architecture (signboard-style building) in Takinogawa, Kita-ku. The first character has fallen off, and the facade is weathered with rust, but it still commands a massive presence in the local shopping street.

I don't actually know what this store sells. Besides "oil burners" and gambling machines it's pretty empty. The guys outside seemed really nice. I've never been asked if I was good by so many strangers before. 🫶🏼

The most recent in the lot. This is the last remnant of a building in the centre of Novi Sad, Serbia (adjacent to more recent construction work and scheduled for demolition). Shot on Delta 400 with a 70-200mm Canon USM

Low key my Podcast has been my obsession the last 3 months.
It's a lot of work but I am really proud of it.

Green box out in nature.

Industrial moss meets tangled branches.

This utility box looks like a silent observer waiting for the woods to reclaim it.

I love how man-made objects clash with the wild. A quiet kind of harmony.

A black and white photograph of a a crumbling lobby, various furnishings litter the entry way and lead back to a stage in the distant darkness. The walls are mottled and debris litters the floors.

Finally figured out something for this week's #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKForKaput.

This is an abandoned school in a neighboring village. Taken through the glass on the main entrance doors.

A close up shot of a weathered, rusted metal window frame set into a concrete block wall. One of the glass panes, which contains an embedded wire safety mesh, is jaggedly broken with a large dark hole in the center. The intact portions of the glass reflect a bright blue sky with soft white clouds and the silhouette of a nearby building roof. The image has a slight vignette effect around the edges, emphasizing the contrast between the orange rust and the deep blue reflection. Title: Broken Window ©2008 WickedLizzie
