On all of my visits to the Garnet Ghost Town, I never knew this cabin existed. I couldn't believe I had overlooked it, but what a find in the dead of winter!
The smell of decay was unbelievable, and all I could think of was taking a shower after I left!
Such a wonderful subject for an HDR. Thanks for visiting!
Downtown, Austin, TX
Here is another image from last Friday's photowalk. The old graffiti covered building is the same one that was pictured yesterday. Off in the distance, gleaming in the sunset is the new downtown condos.

"You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world."

As the Greenland sailor in the background melts into the sea in the summer sun this WWII bunker is also falling to rust and decay. Near St. John's, NL, Canada.

sorry for all the late uploads meep :3 i don't really like this, but it was all i had. school is starting in exactly a week blech,
on the bright side, i get to display 4 of my photos at a local photography academy/gallery as a part of a photo story, so i need to get to work on that :)
if you can't tell, this was taken with me "sitting" (with the help of some photomanipulation) in a "bird's nest plant," which I have a few of in my garden.
The owner of the farm property, said this was his deceased grandmothers old house and he could'nt bear to tear it down.
She lived until age 98, so now he just farms around it.
Near Deer Island in NW Oregon.

here we find the beauty of decay, the life that emerges from death's embrace. The mushrooms, golden and ghoulish, sprouting from the carcass of a once-mighty tree, now nothing but a tomb for the forgotten. They huddle together like a coven of witches, plotting in the quiet, dark underbrush.
It's a somber reminder that in the end, we all feed the earth, we all return to the dust from whence we came. The photographer has captured this grim poetry with such clarity, the shadows and light conspiring to highlight the textures of life's end and the beginnings it inadvertently sows.
There's a haunting elegance here, a tale of life's ephemerality whispered through the lens. This is not just a photo; it's a morbid sonnet to the cycle that feeds us all, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The darkness encroaching around the edges, ready to reclaim its due. Excellent capture, chilling in its stark reality, yet it's impossible to look away.
Ok, i took some, actually many, other shot of this leave and i had to go back to this plant and see if i find other leaves which are of good value...i found couple of them.
I came up with several shots, here are 2 of them. I know it' might be repetition, but I had to upload them, cause they deserve upload...don't they!
How I did the shots:
I put the decaying leave on the back of my computer(black)installed my camera on my tripod and, side and back lit the scene with my mobile (moving it with my hand a bit) on two different modes...red/green pictures, so that it gives the leaf the color. I also i prayed some deodorant around the scene to come up with shallow ambient light which in the case of green one blew the leaf away :D in the mid exposure, but cool it doubled the scene. cheers!
