Completely empty Metro railcar, except for me and some trash on the floor. This is the Yellow Line northbound, moving at a good pace, between Columbia Heights, and Georgia Ave-Petworth.

...inside and out.
Here it is easier to see the classic music juke box and the domed pastry stand on the dining counter.
It was almost as much fun noticing the reflection and their play with the diner artifacts as it was checking out the diner itself. The blue and yellow tiny building plays well with the diner interior.

This 1955 classic Fodero dining car was moved from its original location and carefully restored between 2008 and 2010 but the owner died before it could be opened for business. Since then it has been moved again and is in process of being prepared for coming back to life as a working diner.

An early example of my recent attempts at large format photography.

Window of an abandoned building near my grandparents house.
Kind of a random photo but I think it's really cool looking
I can't wait until my Polaroid film comes!!! I really hope the camera still works! Right now it's sitting on my bedside table calling my name. If it does work that's such a good deal because I got the camera for $1
Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "Empty"

I spotted this plant in the Leiden University Botanical Garden. I no nothing about flora, so I cannot tell what it is. What I do know is that flowers are the reproductive organs of plants, and that the top one emptied it's seed into the atmosphere. In post I cropped the shot a bit, but no further actions.
Just playing with the Leica X1. First time I've used it to bracket shots for an HDR. All I kept thinking when I was processing this, is how empty the chair looks without my grandson in it reading a book or playing on the iPad. Time he came for a long stay, methinks. I don't like empty chairs.
And if we can cool a shot of Jake's living room, what about mine? Or is this HDR suicide?
From the series Empty [#1.1-1.6]:
The artifacts of commerce lie fallow in an apparently empty major port city. The red/copper/green palette evokes a muddled American banknote. These cues prompt the viewer to examine our complicated relationship with commerce: its necessity, how it benefits humanity, and the need to make sure it is constrained by a substantive focus on human well-being.
The first capture from this afternoon. You'll see more once I've processed them.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I have, but I'm exhausted and need to go to bed soon, so I have to post and run yet again....
Empty sensations. Empty feelings. Empty smiles. Empty tears. Empty days. Empty life.
Empty me.
When you grow up you realize that there'll always be someone who has something more than you. Someone better, more beautiful, more loved, someone who is simply more. And that will make you sad. Will make you sad to know that you, as you can put the whole, you will never be even half.
During this time I feel so. A nothing.
Come una candela che brucia, in un pagliaio in fiamme.
Christmas Day, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Most people were at lunch with their family, no wonder streets were empty :-)
I really, really like shooting Universe of Energy lately. This shot, I tried a different angle to make the monorail more prominent in the shot.
Alegria ou tristeza, acaba.
Tudo caminha para um vazio absoluto...
Talvez seja interessante contemplar esse processo,
a beleza que ainda existe, ou que tento fazer existir.
O que levo comigo? Ilusões.
A hazy Saturday morning in Liberty State Park.

The evening sun set reflects on First Bus 33755 a standard Enviro 400 as it makes the first of its four almost empty trips into Town, but that’s the usual story on most of the inbound 231’s, the intended passenger sees a bus in the distance, gets up in readiness then moves away from the stop and the bus sails past. Why, well the 231 and 216 both of which travel down Ashton New Road into Manchester are operated by Stagecoach seven days a week but for a reason no one can fully explain to passengers the Monday to Saturday evening service on the 231 is operated by First.
Most people in the area now have the Stagecoach passes which are obviously not valid on First so passengers simply stand back and wait the two minutes for a Stagecoach on the 216. The sad part is TFGM will say no one uses the evening 231’s and knock back the frequencies even more, what they can’t see is that it’s their doing with evening and weekend tendering that drives more and more passengers away.
An equally empty Childrens Playground can be seen in the distance heading for Ashton, more interesting is the fact that the Metrolink stop is a few yards away from here but there is still a preference for the bus by many, I wonder why.
i took this for the My Impression Of... group, inspired by the portraits of local rural decay by beebo wallace and tearapen. it's an abandoned shop i pass on my way to and from work every day. tonite i stopped at the deli across the street to pick up dinner; when i walked out, i knew i had to shoot this.
i have a lot to learn with shots like these, but having these guys as inspiration? makes me want the night to turn back into day so i can get out there and find an even better subject.
their work is astonishing and important. check it out.
