life must go on...
I had been driving past this disused building in the middle of a farmers field for a couple of years and always thought that it would be a great place to take photos. One day I had some time to kill and remembered this place, I was envisaging landscape pictures of this derilict building with the field in the foreground, the building off centre in the middle and the trees and bushes tailing off into the distance. When I got there, I couldn't get the shots I had wanted, they didn't feel right, didn't look good and to be honest I was quite disappointed. Eventually as I got closer to the building I saw the real beauty in the real disaster of it, the broken windows, rusty hinges, moss, dirt, rope and doors. So I decided to shoot closeups of colours and shapes and deriliction; just as i had gotten round the back of the building I could see this beautiful sky with colour, clouds, texture and sunlight. I had to shoot the sky through the windows, they provided the most obscure framework available. Now I can see the beauty of the sky through the disused building window as a 'life must go on..." statement, with the beauty captured through the battered and torn window.
