The colour on the original was not exactly vivid. But the colour of the bricks were.
So I saturated this image until it caught the colours that the eye sees.
In order to atone for my saturation sins I did a B/W and drained all the colour out and just left the pattern and the texture.
Thought to be the oldest brick home in Lauderdale County, Alabama (although, I'm not sure of that). Located near downtown Florence. Was also a house of prostitution at the turn of the century (that's last century). Has been abandoned for many years. Currently owned by a friend of mine who is going to be preserving it. His actions have kept it from being demolished. The previous picture in the photostream was taken within this home.
A news story on the home from 2004. This was prior to them knowing what would happen to the house:

I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!
I took these photos in East London in October 2016.
part of my study of bricks... about finding something remarkable, even beautiful, in one of the ordinary everyday things that are the building blocks that (literally) contain life.
Building gauge - shows where the technic pin bricks are and how wide the road is and the location of the center stripe. Plates on one side edge of the road and tiles on the other side edge. There are nine rows of bricks between the edge tile/plate and the center line plate.
when I visited the site on January 7th there was a worker moving the school rubble around with a backhoe. He let me take a couple bricks and some other things as a souvenier.
He told me these were "sand-bricks" made in Georgia.
In a perfect world I would've found one with part of the POPASH writing on it, but in a perfect world the school wouldn't have been torn down in the first place
Plymbridge woods are a popular walking area, and it's good to see that many people have chosen to sponser a brick here.
Montpelier, Vermont USA • Shot during my visit to Montpelier, our state capital, to participate in the Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk, one of 900 locations around the world, where photographers shoot away on the same day. • Why? More info.
This year's Brick Fiesta was a bit underwhelming compared to the last two, and I didn't exactly help matters by hardly building all year. But had a good time hanging out with Steve.
