This is more of a tribute to metal and hard rock in general than a single track, but I’ve rediscovered some classic albums during lockdown. Fade to Black was one of the first Metallica songs I heard back when I was at school in the 80’s and started a lifelong following.
The song itself is pretty deep, after reminding myself of the lyrics it’s all about suicide, so please don’t think it’s reflected in my mood!
Just last week I bought a cracking new pair of Bluetooth earphones that a are perfect for thrashing too whenever I get the chance! (Today while cleaning the bathroom)
I was going for the classic metal album cover look à la ‘The Black Album’ or ‘Black in Black, originally I shot a marble which was kind of cool, then I found this lump of iron pyrite which seemed to fit the theme perfectly!
Another shot of the long abandoned Yesterday's News farmhouse in northern Illinois. This once ornate old farmhouse has decayed badly in the years since I first photographed it, The beautiful stained glass windows are broke and some of the facade has fallen away. But it soldiers on and the owner shows no signs of remedying the situation besides putting up fresh "no trespassing" signs.
Fine by me....
"Life it seems to fade away, drifting further everyday... Getting lost within myself, nothing matters no one else..." #fadetoblack 🎸
This image is inspired by the fact that this year - it´s 40 years since Metallica released "Ride the Lightning" with the song Fade to Black (released on July 27, 1984). It´s a dark song but still a masterpiece!

Life it seems to fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
I need the end to set me free,

these beautiful native plants in my property's meadow only bloom in the late afternoons -- and i like the slightly-cheesy-1970s-folk-album-cover vibe of the fade-to-black film here...

taikou / dusk backdrop with materials
Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he's gone
No one but me can save myself
But it's too late
Now I can't think
Think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though
It never existed
Death greets me warm
Now I will just say goodbye

===================================================
some of you may know this swan song
"severe & very crippling autoimmune muscle disease,having lost my pictures & backup,harsh times ...
I was diagnosed with autoimmune myopathy around Easter 2016
it is a rare or orphan disease
major health problem worsening week by week
and now some new problems appear (severe) .....
Can no longer walk , need help for many things in my daily life
When I said "disheartened " it was a euphemism
So I can no longer stay on Flickr
I missed my Flickr friends, this is why I came back (without posting myself),
I love groups ,I needed to create my own group , and I tried to invite and always "follow" the invited photos in groups,
my only reason for being on Flickr but probably a mistake
Dear Friends , thank you for your support
wish you all the Best
.... and remember "Carpe Diem "
===========================================
Thank you for your visit , your fave , your comments
thank you for taking some of your precious time , much appreciated !!
thank you from the bottom of my heart , for your beautiful words , you're my true friends
the Flickr spirit is still alive...
===========================================
I am absolutely unable to accept a life of recluse, without any social or cultural life and worse, I feel unable to accept becoming dependent : Loss of autonomy is a humiliating loss of human dignity
When I came back to Flickr , last year , after a long absence, I thought it could be a derivative, a way to keep in touch,and to fight my isolation since I can't have social or cultural life anymore
But it was a mistake because even the use of my PC, and Flickr sessions have become very difficult for me
And , see and admire dozens of photos on Flickr, while I can't walk, so, taking pictures is a real mental torture
.... and I have ideas, many ......: ((((((((
likewise, Summer, sunny days, so many invitations to walk:
no need to travel , I love Paris , late afternoon light is wonderful
I miss Paris .......
I was very active, I loved everything in life,
I'm not old enough
so what ?
the worst is a severe respiratory attack that is increasing more and more......I'll try to keep in touch a little longer , as long as I could . Not for a very long time , I fear ....
============================================
Thank you , my friends for the photos you have dedicated me, for the beautiful galleries, for the tributes I received, especially this one, moving =Feeling Blue for Françoise fifich@t Thank you , dear Robin
this photo is not for groups (no need to gain awards or more favorites) but only for my contacts, friends, and any Flickr member who knows me, and can understand how it feels when no treatment can bring any improvement ,and one becomes dependent , more and more
Thank you

I dry-peeled this photo a few minutes after shooting, and attached the transparency to a kraft-paper page in my notebook.
Happy Polaroid Week! Day One, Image One. From the archives, some expired Fade to Black images that I shot years ago but never shared. I wasn't excited about them at the time but like them now.
sx70 model 2 and Fade to Black film.
i like this one a lot. it reminds me of "real" time zero film (minus the flares).
Ahhhh just hit 'Roid week. I love 'Roid week. Polaroids are what started me on my journey as a photographer.
