I don’t think I’ll ever honestly be able to properly communicate my fascination with abandoned locations. I want to say part of it all stems from the simple fact that forgotten places and things are simply that, forgotten. With my photography, my underlying goal with all my work is to capture something unique and beautiful.

Seeing places rarely seen and capturing a moment in there fall is a beautiful thing. In many ways this can be related back to my enjoyment of the emotional and dark works of Edgar Allen Poe as well as H. P. Lovecraft.

With all that said, I was contacted by a local model interested in shooting a Alice in Wonderland themed shoot. I, of course, suggested one of my abandonments that I had been trying to work heavily in. A deal was struck and the day arrived. I was shocked and kicking myself as I drove up to the location to see a giant backhoe tear down the last remnants of the roof. One more beautiful place swallowed by time and development. Lucky for me, I knew of one other place we could go nearby and the shoot overall was a tremendous success. (And I now have someplace new to let my creativity go.)

Lindsay did a terrific job throughout our shoot and if you’re ever looking for a model with experience in costume/cosplay convention circuit in Atlanta, I’d highly suggest contacting her through Model Mayhem!
