Artist's Comments

this is an old pic that i am somehow obsessed with. Just to think when built, it was probably state of the art...representing "progress",innovation and modernity. Now, it just seems like a relic of our own decay...remnants of the ugly side of the coin of progress....yet it still seems somehow beautiful to me.

It is pretty dounting. Kind of like the factory out of Batman (Tim Burton's). I like the way the clouds make the factory pop-out

I always look at your work, but usually don't comment as it's likely to get lost in the sea of responses. I enjoy these scenes of ruin and decay. They have a unique beauty and a story to tell.

Where was this taken? Did you do any post-processing or did you use a particular film well suited to the task?

I like the many different types of textures the house has.
The standard brick, together with the rusty (i guess) material
of the frontwall and chimney give the photo the industrial
touch besides the shape of the facility itself.

The sky is amazingly apocalyptic. Combining this dramatic
apocalyptic look with the rusty, decaying appearance of the
house this is a very good and appealing, nearly 'dark'-art,
photo which i like very much.
