Today we went for a romantic stroll through the condemned and defunct Barrett Street Hospital, now home to the homeless, vandals and drug users. As all the building have been boarded up the main "photographers guide" for this venue seems to be "stick camera through hole, push button, hope for the best". That being said, I really like the gritty, dirty feel of this shot...but I have no idea who Bruster is or why he has taken up a position behind you.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
I have always thought that 'urbex' would be right up your street Graeme... but as I have never seen any from you, I just assumed that that everything is beautiful where you live! I like the idea of stick the camera through a hole and see what you get... nice one, young man.
@mzzhope thanks very much @shepherdmanswife I had my lovely wife @kimkyra with me to defend my virtue from the scavenging vagrants... @redy4et thanks very much - appreciated @newbank Thanks. Very restrained of you ;) @annied Thanks - I do my best to keep the romance alive... @chippy1402 thank you very much @jess1204 LOL, love it. Ruin Porn is spot on. Glad you like it @lleo Thanks very much - I worked here briefly 20 odd years ago and the mother in law lived in the nurses home (which can be seen in @kimkyra album today). Sad to see it gone to ruin. @vignouse Thanks very much indeed - not everything here is beautiful sadly, but everywhere is like that to some point. We choose to see what we want to and block out the rest sometimes. @wearing0 Thank you very much, just keeping the romance alive. No sign of anyone, but it did have an element of "I feel watched" about it. A lady we know went in to take photos at night, by herself. No thanks.
@dh We were sorely tempted by the Pencil Museum when we were in Keswick a few years ago. Luckily we found some fresh paint and watched that dry instead... @denisefuller Thanks very much...I even pointed out some flowers along the way. @dibzgreasley Thanks very much (it was her idea)
@gigiflower Ha! I thank you from my infested pit of a heart. But don't be frightened of me...like I said, I laughed so hard I snorted (a little bit of wee may have come out too)
@graemestevens How lucky are you - not all partners are so keen to spend ages taking photos, unless they are photographers themselves (speaking from experience here!)
You've done exactly what I need. This shot is my inspiration for an album cover I have to make for a friend of mine. Thanks. I think I will have to look at all your picts to complete my creation process. Nice shot Graeme.
@rachelwithey It's a weakness of mine, I must work on that @gigiflower I wasn't asleep...I'm just old enough to need the odd rest... @ukandie1 Thanks - I always treat my family to the best places @livvy I hope not, I haven't checked yet though @blueberry1222 Nothing but the best! @eyeamlisa Thanks very much - I'm glad we made it out too! @daneau Thanks very much - much appreciated and I'm pleased you like it
It's sad after seeing it from the outside in Kim's photo. In saying that, I also love seeing it in this condition. Which of course is a huge contradiction. Glad you escaped Bruster unscathed!
@golftragic thanks very much @pittcj17 Thanks very much...it didn't take much @tracelee thanks very much indeed @tomtom Thanks very much, it is very sad
@roseolivia thanks very much... @yaorenliu thank you very much...difficult to get a straight line in this place! @newbank Sigh - I got so excited when I logged in and saw all these notifications. The excitement didn't go away when I saw it was you, but still...that many comments? ;)
@graemestevens sorry to disappoint...the wrong time of day to find it. I feel like I arrived at party sober when everyone was already comatosed on the floor...
Best way to process this. What a history it must hold.
@shepherdmanswife I had my lovely wife @kimkyra with me to defend my virtue from the scavenging vagrants...
@redy4et thanks very much - appreciated
@newbank Thanks. Very restrained of you ;)
