Project 365 - Day 20 (See, the Problem is....)

The problem is...I was nearly late to work.  I had allowed myself what I thought was plenty of time to get a couple of nice shots before work...and then I started wading through the weeds...and ducking behind them...and playing with DOF....  Basically, I lost myself in shooting for quite a while, though I have to thank the guys who thought I was trespassing...they made me look at a freakin' watch...so I made it.  But still...I wish I'd had even more time to wade through those weeds....

The first shot is of the first floor freight elevator of the former Ms. Elaine's, a fairly sizable local manufacturer until about a decade ago.  Slowly, the west side of the building either collapsed or was torn down (for safety), leaving the elevator doors exposed to the elements.  Two main things I love about the first shot: the blurred weeds in the foreground give a light sense of overgrowth, complimenting the weathering of the door and brick, and; when you enlarge the photo 100%...you can clearly read the "Up/Down" options on the button.

The rest of the post is images I captured that I thought gave a sense of the place...and a little well-lit driveway I liked...and a sunset...hard to go wrong with a sunset.

Enjoy!
