How recent is this? The first three times I've been, those fixtures were still hanging in the air, with a chair hung from one of 'em. Then, last time, they were down like they are here.

Yep they are all digital... the stuff in the foreground is kind of blown out, so it was a compensation between getting that and the light from behind the boarded door; I should've really bracketed this shot.

The photos on this site are all digital, see the about page for more info.

Yeah it looks like Metro is nearly demolished... looks like MA is loosing a lot of abandonments this year.

Ok. I shoot digital, first off. I probably shood mess with development tricks more in photoshop but I've never thought to until seeing this shot. How the heck - do you develop these yourself man? Awsome lighting work.
On that note, how were you able to get both the lit stuff in the foreground and the light around the edges of the boards on the window as well?

It was my "home away from home" for like 23 visits worth. Love the color again. You develop these yourself? Also, what did you shoot this with? Digital or film?

Btw, Met has been leveled as of recently. Saddens me greatly since it was so near to where I live. THought you should know.

Nah, when blood dries it gets a really dark red/brown/blackish color. These are most likely rust stains.

Right when this shot loaded on my screen I said "oh my god" outloud. This is really a beautiful shot. It reminds me of A Midsummer Night's Dream or something. Really, this is an amazing photo.
