hunting

I'm not sure that driving around for a couple of hours in the city you live in could be qualified as a "road trip" but for lack of a better term that's what I'm going to call it. So on my last road trip I remembered this old building with glass bricks and old walls that looked like a distressed water color painting and beelined to it for some picture taking. I've always been drawn to urban ruins, "left-over" buildings, but up to this point have seldom taken the time to capture them on film. Some might find this subject matter depressing but I say beautiful, in a lonely embattled kind of way.

In an effort to stop writing ideas on paper and actually just get off my ass and produce what's in my mind I've decided this will be one of my active projects, to collect the broken down parts of Austin.
