Description just doing some light reading.

I did a small series of these the other day while exploring some abandoned industrial buildings. This was my favorite of the three settings.

Interestingly enough ... I found this old National Geographic in the worst decrepit run-down industrial mess ... must have been a dreamer worked there.

model: me.

May 18, 2017 .. photo reworked for a requested print .. Hope you like it Jim! I'll have the print up when I get home this weekend

Says everything necessary about "development" really dosn't it!

Nice work - a place full of mystery & stories. You must really enjoy doing these in that quiet silence, no one around. Don't you feel like an intruder sometimes lol?

Man, I found these Nat Geos from way back in the fifties and sixties in my painting class supply room. It was so cool
Anyway, for some reason (from far away) the blueness of this and your clothing reminds me of a prison.

This is very cool. I get the sense of captivity with the darkness of it as i plays off the singular light source and the bed roll, but i know it must be self imposed because of the Ladder being there, well that and the casual way you read your book. It is amazing and thoughtful

I like it
