New, empty apartment blocks being built seen outside the window of a mag-lev bullet train from Beijing to Teda. Teda is considered a tiny city of several million people, primarily Han Chinese. Teda is an acronym for Tianjin Economic Development Area.
It is usually pretty hard to find a bunch of empty seats at Disney. This was right after Disney's California Adventure opened, so no one was here yet. I liked the Mickey in the background too.
The "Empty Sky" 9/11 Memorial is the official State of New Jersey's Memorial that honors the memory of the 749 people that lived in or had ties to New Jersey that lost their lives at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
The names are placed randomly on the twin brushed stainless steel walls. Individuals' names (4 inches tall) are within reach and engraved deep enough for hand rubbing. The memorial, designed by Jessica Jamroz and Frederic Schwartz, was dedicated on September 11, 2011, the 10-year anniversary.
Liberty State Park is a green oasis in the middle of Metropolitan northern New Jersey. With the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as a spectacular backdrop, Liberty State Park is one of the state's most dramatic parks.
Fareham Bus Station on Christmas Day, completely empty. Probably the only time of year that you can see this in daylight.
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces,
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill the final places?
How should I complete the wall?
Our Daily Challenge: Hollow
These houses are empty!!! Why do you have to pay so much for them? ...I guess I'm just a little upset because I lost at Monopoly. Wife and daughter conspired against me. I think Jaiden would have beat me too except he lost patience for the game before that happened. I was able to arrange to get one single monopoly: The Oranges, lead by New York Ave... but it was not enough this time.
I've been teaching a class in photojournalism with a friend, a well-known NY photographer. Last week I showed the class a bunch of my pictures that I thought qualified as photojournalism & then showed a few like this one. My friend kept asking things like, "Why did you take it? What were you trying to do? What is it a picture of?" His questions were well-meaning. He wasn't condemning my pictures. He really wanted to know. I answered, "It's a picture of emptiness."
That's true but also perhaps a bit evasive. I've been taking pictures like this for nearly 30 years, starting with B & W. Unlike most of the pictures I've taken of people, I have absolutely no ambivalence about these "empty" shots. I know I want them & ,after shooting them, I know I've got them. But I don't know what they mean exactly.
I'm curious what you think. I'd like to post a series of these & have you react to them, not in terms of light & color & composition etc. -- not even necessarily rationally -- but in terms of feelings, evocation, meaning, if you think they have any -- what pops into your head, what comes to mind? Some of you may not be interested in doing this & if so, that's fine. Any comment is appreciated, as always. But if you are interested, I'd especially appreciate your thoughts.

Emptying the ashpit at Llanfair used to be an arduous task. Thankfully the practice of dumping the ash at suitable sites along the line has ceased and it is now loaded into skip and taken away by a 'hazardous waste contractor'
The Empty Pavilion is a meditation on Detroit's evacuated urban context and an experiment in the ability of architecture to make visible a latent public in the city. The project aspires to create an architecture that is physically and semantically empty, while solicitous of public interaction and imaginative projection. The creators of the Empty Pavilion have no specific use or meaning in mind – hoping instead that the project will invite unplanned occupancies and creative associations. This project was funded by a Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Research Though Making grant.

The lighting was incredibly poor when I caught this empty BNSF coal train, so I converted the image to B&W. It works for me.
Empty Nesters Assortment with honkers inside. These are great for hunting dogs and their sportsman owners. The unstuffed body is great for tossing and flinging around.
