Day 3: Not Showing My Fucking Face Week
Now here is a building that has character. I had about 30 mins to kill before I had to pick up my youngest daughter. My oldest daughter and I spotted this beauty from a distance. It was here under my nose the entire time! Minutes from my home, hidden on a back road that is rarely used, just blaring COME PHOTOGRAPH ME RYAN!!!! Unfortunately I only had about ½ hour this session to capture some of this exquisite decaying chipped mouth watering building, but you better bet your next child I’ll be back.
And the best part is that place was gated off. We had to jump a fence to get in. Hell yeah, that means someone doesn’t want us in there. Even more reason that I should be in there. I swear I get to a place like this and I don’t draw blanks. I just go go go. Picture after picture I don’t sit still. I never have to ponder “hmmmm what picture do I want to take now”. It’s just the opposite actually. I am so overwhelmed with ideas that I can’t move fast enough. I could stay at a place like this all day till the sun came down and the drug addicts came and took it over.
Now even more the fun, I get to log on the internet and research what the hell this building is. I want to know everything about it. What it is, why it’s abandoned, why it wasn’t just taken down, why it has a fence around it, why it’s locked up, what it was used for, how long it’s been empty, etc. More on that maybe when I go back.

Driver of the #7 car goes hard into the turn at the end of Lakeshore Blvd in one of the qualifiers as part of the Toronto Honda Indy. I am not sure what series this car belonged to. Special thanks again for Sony in organizing a meet-up group pit access to the event and having some great gear on hand to demo. One important lesson I learned on this day was to monitor shutter speed and keep it low enough to get blurring in the wheels as the cars pass. It is not an easy task and still get a sharp overall shot.
Broad Hill is located close to Pittodrie Stadium home of Aberdeen Football Club and Kings Links golf course, I pass by it every time I drive down towards Aberdeen Harbour or when I visit the Trinity Cemetery that also is located nearby.
Broad Hill has an interesting history, bombed during WW2 , with evidence of shrapnel damage still evident today along the wall of Trinity Cemetery at Park Road and on numerous gravestones in the cemetery itself, I have posted photos I have taken capturing this history here on Flickr in my Trinity Cemetery folder.
Thanks to the magnificent Doric Columns for the information below.

A High Explosive bomb also falls on a residence in Seaforth Road, and 1 High Explosive and 1 Incendiary fall on the Park Road Court end of Golf Road.
A bomb falls somewhere "about Pittodrie". It does not detonate, and its location is not verified.
High Explosive bombs strike 200 yards West of the entrance to the Torry Battery.
This folder contains photos I have taken capturing the views around Broad Hill and from the top of the hill itself, it is a spectacular sight on a clear sunny day to slowly spin 360 degrees and view the this magnificent area of Aberdeen.
Tracey raises a smile from inside her cell.
A Bury resident spent yesterday (29/1/13) in the cells of the Greater Manchester Police Museum to help raise money for a local youngster.
Former prison officer Tracey Snelling, from Outwood, spent the day behind bars for 12-year-old Joshua Wilson, a pupil at Elms Bank High School in Whitefield.
Josh was treated for a brain tumour in 2004 and has severe neuromuscular disabilities.
His family needs £25,000 to pay for specialist equipment to assist Josh in the home.
Tracey was arrested at Whitefield police before being taken to the Force’s award-winning museum.
The event was been organised by PC Danny McCondichie, of the Whitefield Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Tracey faced a judge in the museum’s Victorian courtroom, accused of always foul play in a police quiz on Twitter.
She was convicted and was sentenced to a day in the cell block.
She said: “I saw Josh’s story on Twitter and I thought I would like to do something to help.
“I’m looking forward to it. It will be strange on the other side of the bars but at least I know I will be getting out at the end of the day.”

The protest took place outside the drive up entrance to Swissotel on East Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago. Heartland Alliance was holding its big annual gala dinner there.
The protesters say that Heartland is profiting off the incarceration of immigrant children. They say that these places are nothing but detention camps that are "ill equipped to handle the needs of immigrant children".These facilities are staffed by non-professionals. Anxiety and thoughts of suicide run high among the children. There are widespread allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
They say that Heartland Alliance is "in cahoots with big money". By the government proclaiming that certain people are illegal private industry - meaning places like Heartland - are making a profit off incarcerating these children.
For its part, Heartland, on its website, invites interested people to "Join us to protect the rights and dignity of immigrants and asylum seekers, and that Heartland "strongly oppose the actions of the current administration".

Spent a day shooting in Joliet, IL. The old prison, Iron Works park and more. It's a great place to visit and shoot.
