Me? I think it's junk too---but there is a wealth of detail in all the junk. If you overlook the big picture, and focus in small, there are really cool patterns and textures to be found.

Rusted Remains
The next town over from where I live has a railway museum, with a wonderfully restored depot, and a train that runs through the valley, as well as hosting Thomas in the summer. There is also a collection of old railcars and engines...most of which are not much more than rusted-out hulks. My DH, who used to work for the railroad, rolls his eyes in disgust everytime he sees the collection of junk, but the railroad afficionados love this stuff.

Not a collection of junk to me! I love these! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI love the details. . . and bet I would love the big picture of "junk" too! Did you use a particular kind of processing on these? An action? I like how you got so many muted orange/green colors in these.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all this detail! Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Pat. I love that yellow door with the hint of almost lavender to it. I bet it would be a really cool place to do a portrait session!
