Ever nosey.

St. Simons Island, GA

It's the bridal expo season! As the actual wedding season comes to an abrupt halt, venues start hosting bridal party expos, where couples can enquire with suppliers as well as view the venues in preparation for their special day.

As the recommended supplier, DJ Solutions participated in the old Q Station bridal expo in Manly today. Not only was the view fantastic, the old creepy (and haunted) buildings proved to be a spectacular location for a future shoot.

In this particular shot, I loved the soft wooden frame and the texture of the tainted glass, a result of years of neglect.

No longer useful for housing and crumbling.

These architectural features, some with artwork are placed throughout the gardens and add to the intrest.

This is where they loaded in the jacuzzi tub to make frame for it.

I assume the resident ghosts opened the windows.

this old wooden window frame needs a bit of scraping and painting and it'll be as good as new. . . . .

This storefront in San Francisco has a nicely done mosaic around the window and door jambs.

I had something else in the can but I'm going with this because it made me a bit sad when I saw it on my walk.

There's a house across the park that is getting a refurb and that inevitably means ripping out the beautiful old windows and sticking in shitty modern white uPVC.

I understand the reasons. Saving energy is important, and not just because of the ever increasing costs.

It's something that can be done right but sadly, it's hideously expensive. You can get wooden double glazing. You can get uPVC double glazing in black and white in the Victorian style. You can even encapsulate old coloured glass with sealed glazing units.

Sadly if you diverge at all from white uPVC the prices quickly get astronomical, and there's no way a developer looking to flip a house for profit is going to spring for that.

A real shame.
