Unloved. by grammyn

Unloved.

I see this house every time I drive to my daughter's house. and have often wanted to photograph it The day I took this for the film challenge I took two and it was misty and rainy. I may go back on good weather and try again.

Kodak 35mm 400ISO
oooooh oooh ooooooh - now you are talkin my language lol.....old, derelict houses....love it! i took my film camera with me on my recent road trip, but the camera malfunctioned as i was taking the very first shot :(......anyway nice work - the mist adds great mood to the shot!

@sticksandstones Thanks so much, Jenny. Every time I post a picture that I feel could be so much better someone always seems to like it very much. Today it is you!

Great job Katy...it certainly could do with some love, a few nails etc...the fog just adds to the atmosphere. It may be interesting to see how it looks on a sunny day.

I like old houses like this in need of TLC. Can you get close to it and maybe shoot upward and perhaps in b&w? I think it has possibilities!

@trumpetman It needs more than TLC which you will see in a day or two when I post the whole house. I may try your suggestions on a sunny day. thanks Mike!

@ruthmouch Thanks, Ruth but a few nails aren't going to fix it. I will post the rest of it in a few days and you will see what I mean.

The misty weather makes it look even more unloved. I like old houses. Whenever I see one around here it seems that the owner is outside and someone is still living there -- so I chicken out and don't take the picture. It's happened to me twice now!

@debbim LOL! there is another house in town that I want to shoot and haven't yet for that very reason. I haven't seen the owner but I am pretty sure someone is still living there and will come out and shoot me if they see me trying to photogaph the house!

If what I see is what it looks like, I can see why you say it needs more that nails and TLC... looks like the back of the house, at least the roof, might me MIA! :) Cool shot and I agree with others who say the weather adds to the desolate look.

There's a softness to this that I really like, Katy. Great capture.

@marilyn So the weather is a HA (happy accident) and you are totally correct about the house. Thanks, Sissy.

@debsphotos Gee, thanks, Debbie. It always amazes me that something I think is really bad can be like by someone else.

@grammyn -- I'm learning that photos don't always have to be crisply focused and considered masterpieces to strike an emotion in someone.
February 16th, 2012  
@debsphotos Good point!

Deb
I can't help staring at the photo! Very thought provoking for me . . .

@deburahiru I hope it is in a good way,Deb. Thank you so much.

Looks so retro

Wow--won't be long before that porch collapses with the rest of the house. This is really sort of spooky looking with the missing roof and the grain of the film...

@peterdegraaff It has been there long enough to qualify for retro!
February 19th, 2012  
On this day it did look spooky. On a sunny day it just looks unloved!
