Syracuse used to be a very industrial blue-collar town, and while there's still some industry here, much of the old industrial foundation of the city has been reduced to decay. There's a wealth of opportunity for industrial photographs for me. Mind you, photographing it requires some forays into not-so-great parts of town, and a lot of crazy driving and parking as I point and shout, "Ooh! Stop! Over there!" Poor Seth. He humors me so gracefully.
Anyway, here are some scenes that caught my eye.
I enjoy your photographs. I too have swivel-neck syndrome. If you were following me from behind when I am in photo-mode I probably look like three-year old saying no to a fork full of green beans.
ReplyDeleteHa! Raining Iguanas, the three-year old saying no to green beans is a fantastic image - I can picture it, and I relate!
ReplyDeleteoh, very nice! I love a few urban things in particular: faded painted ads on the sides of old brick buildings, cool, old windows, and when nature starts taking over, growing up through here, busting out a window there, cracked cement fields, etc. =) And graceful design bits that one might not notice right off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun tour. Glad your man is accommodating. =)
