New Photo Set: Hawaii 2002

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 | gallery, non-decay | No Comments

After having scanned 2600 35mm negatives, I thought it might be nice to share some of them. Here are 36 pictures from my 2002 trip to the Hawaiian islands. They are decidedly non-decay, mind you.

Flickr Photo Meme

Cool, someone tagged me in a photo meme! The rules are that you go to your own Flickr site, browse to the 6th page and write something about the 6th photo on that page.

Here are the previous posts that led to this one; I was tagged by BradP, man of mystery and social media magician:

• … many more previous posts …
• Andy’s post
• Dani’s post
• Paul’s post
• Sheila’s post

The Zombies Are Sad Today (bw)

My 6th page 6th picture is called “The Zombies Are Sad Today” and shows a crawlspace in an abandoned coal processing plant in France. If I remember correctly, I had to climb up some pillars to take this shot, which was situated between the end processing hall and the trainyard underneath it (the coal could be filled directly into the train wagons).

Overall, this place represents one of my favorite urban exploration trips – an amazing, cathedral-like structure, which reminds me of Robert Pinsky’s poem “The Refinery”.  Also, we had a great crew, about 6 people from Switzerland and Germany, who shared an military bus without heating. In freezing November.

The rules of the meme state that you have to tag a 6 other people who carry on the torch! I’m tagging the following people:

• Dr. Schreckenstein
• Aranel Again
• Dan Bennett
• Vincént
• ilConte
• mobilohm
