Urban Paradise

I like your rendition of this building. It just squat there like a giant toad. Strip District Meats adds a further oddly incongruous touch that sets the imagination ablaze.

Hi Tony, I like the effect of the PP you chose, nice and heavy on the contrast. Even though it's color it has a film noir feel. Great work and title.

It's easy to film a shit hole, it took years to get this way, it did all the

work, all I did was document it.

I think...I have a feeling that the title is a bit cynical and I don't agree if it is for that's a real aesthetic and photographic paradise for me!

 

Cheers, Tony!

I was almost convinced this is a real meat market until I saw "exotics"; but, wait, maybe it is a meat market of a different flavor.  A fine street shot with interest and imagination... Mike

 

PS... Their web site actually looks pretty good ;-).

a typical example of the  'last & lost' type of architectural decay.

It may be easy as you say but that doesn't decrease the documental value of the image, neither the coldness preception that was reinforced by the processing of this image. I think it's a very good work.

From a composition point of view, I understand the documental interest in capturing the whole place, but we may get a bit lost in so many aspects. I believe that, as alternative, it would be worth to try some zooming on one (or more) of this many appealing elements in the facade.

The "strip" in Pittsburgh is a famous market area for ethnic and excellent foods, particularly meats and cheeses. When we visited there once, although it wasn't "modern" in the sense of a mall, it was wonderfully intriguing and for a foodie, definitely a paradise!
