An Abstract image of a brick wall taken on the Blackpool promenade, Lancashire, England.
The images in this series were inspired by Mishka Henner's 'No Man's Land', a series created using Google Maps randomly taken images on the roadside. This series is created in the same way by photographing from the window of my car while driving around my local area. However, I added my own personal touch by zooming in and positioning the camera to get abstract style images and this is the result. I believe this concept is what truly has made these images rather different if not unique. This series also shows how our streets that we walk along every day can be made into art if you just take the time to look at it in a different way. It showcases the natural beauty of our manmade structures and local wildlife amongst it that we often take for granted.
Please comment and critique because I would always love and appreciate feedback to improve my photography.
This brick is on an access cover surround on an estate which was built in the mid 1950s, dating this pattern of Whitehead brick to that period.
Whitehead Hill and Co took over from JC Hill and Co in 1925. The works, known as the Llandowlais Brick Works was located on Ty Coch Way, Two Locks, Cwmbran, east of the Dowlais Brook and south of the Monmouthshire-Brecon Canal. The works incorporated two eighteen chamber kilns, each chamber having a capacity of 19,000 bricks. In each kiln, approximately eight chambers per kiln were fired each week, giving an output of some 304,000 bricks per week. The last listing for the company is in the DOQ for 1973.
Hi y'all! This is the second version of my new logo out of real bricks. I hope you'll like it. I prefer this one to the first one. / Sziasztok! Íme az új logóm második verziója igazi kockákból felépítve. Remélem tetszeni fog. Nekem ez jobban bejön!
Apparently, I have an interest in old walls, especially adobe, wooden eaves, roof tiles, bright-colored paint (in this case, just white), peeling plaster, and bricked-up windows. These are things I see in Mexico, and I often photograph them. Are they "picturesque? To me, yes. (overcast day, edited to brighten)

Walking back from taking this photo, I noticed the lines of the adjoining warehouse which I thought would make a nice monochrome shot (and I reckon I was right, especially in the largest sizes where the detail can be seen). However, because it was only red brickwork against a blue sky the colour version was also OK, and in a moment of decisive fence-sitting I uploaded both.
I did a bit of Photoshopping here to boost the contrast, blacken the blacky bits, etc etc, so I'm pleased with how much detail in the bricks was retained, especially since it was only the kit lens (seen best in the larger sizes). The whole thing ~ circular windows, multiple arches, perspective lines, repeating pattern of the roofs ~ has come together nicely.
Not the best quality brick and a manufacturer about whom I have been able to find absolutely nothing. Hmm, frustrating!

At Blackley clay and shale have been mined and quarried from the mid 19th century and in the twentieth century became the home of "Wilkinsons of Elland" who stamped that proud boast on all their bricks. This brickworks closed in 1985.
The quarry has now became a landfill site but luckily a few buildings from the Blackley Mine have survived.
I decided with the nice weather today that I'd go downtown and walk around a bit and try to get some photos, so quite a few of those my end up on here over the next few days. This building is on the corner of 3rd and Main where the China Panda restaurant is located. Inside they have a lot of photos of the buildings in different phases over the years, some with only 2 stores, some with 3. Every time I go get takeout from China Panda I look at these photos. I think it used to be a hotel but now it houses the chinese restaurant, a coffee shop, and has apartments upstairs.
