chris_waller Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I love this type of photography. i witnessed my former home town turning from energetic industrial town through dereliction to sprawling dormitory housing estate for the nearest big towns and cities.

edmo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Gene, nice series though I�m wondering what your thoughts are regarding the contrast in the images. The images seem good but a little flat to me. Is this your intent? <p> I agree with Karel, interesting site �abandoned-places�. Also for anybody that�s interested in this sort of thing here�s a <a href="http://e.webring.com/hub?ring=draining"> page</a> with a lot of links for urban decay or industrial archeology. <p> Gene, thanks for the update.

gene m Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 The shots were done with primitive cameras which produce inherently "flat" negatives. I used these cameras because I felt the look they gave my photos was appropriate for the subject matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I understand what cameras you used (it�s very clear on your website). Inherent or not flat negatives can be dealt with.<p>I was just wondering why some of them didn�t have the contrast that others do like "Bechertown � waste14" (my favorites) or "Warebarns on waste9" amongst others.

gene m Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Every now and then a pinhole or toy camera will produce a contrasty negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
