I have some kind of fascination with old and abandoned buildings, rubbish, and structures on the brink of collapse. There was once an old green and yellow warehouse a few streets away from my house that frequently ended up in some photographs and video projects of mine. I guess the building had a certain charm and natural character. Well, it’s been torn down, and I miss it. In its place is a smattering of rubbish: torn up concrete, a massive pile of stones, and other trash heaps. There are a few remaining construction vehicles that seem to have been standing still for weeks. Whatever the case, I decided to walk around the area and play with my video camera in hopes of being inspired for a new film project I have been contemplating for a few weeks.
Here’s a really simple montage I threw together this afternoon after reviewing some of the footage.
