Derelict buildings

I was having my usual weekend of blog reading - discovering new blogs that I haven't seen before and came across this one - notes by naïve. There are some beautiful photos on the blog but I particularly liked this set which celebrates the beauty of derelict. Tommy shoots with various cameras but this set is taken with a Diana F+. I love the Diana Lomo cameras and have wanted one for ages (perhaps in the New Year…).


Over the weekend I was out with my Olympus OM1. The sun was out and I figured I should make the most of it (good thing I did as the weather is back to its grey self again today!). The old boarded up station building in Cardiff Bay looked strangely enticing and beautiful in the sun, so I started taking photos of it! I'm off to the darkroom tonight so we shall see if any came out and if they are any good!


I definitely think there is something romantic about derelict/abandoned buildings. At work there is a series of photos along the corridors of such buildings. They invite you in, even when you know that you probably shouldn't! I think that my new photography project to myself is going to be photographs of derelict buildings, there are a few in the Bay and a couple back home too, where I will be for Christmas!


Watch this space!
