Creeping about some of the less than favourable suburbs of Charleston in search of a little Urban Decay last weekend.
There were many houses that were photo worthy but what was disturbing was the fact that many of them, supposedly falling down around their own ears, were in fact inhabited AND someone’s “home” which made it a tad uncomfortable to photograph. Squatters or Squalor tenants, it was hard to tell but I know if it was me, I would not like folk taking pictures of MY home, so many were left as seen but not snapped.
A lesson in reality and a nod to the God’s that be for the far more comfortable conditions that most of us take for granted. A less than crumbling roof and windows that are glazed with more than chipboard.
Bren - I commend you for your sensitivity, not all would have been. Indeed we have much to be grateful for, there are so many far worse off. Again, love the painterly effects of this finished piece, very compelling.
Chris - This is so beautiful.
Joanne Thieme Huffman - There is an elegance to your pieces of urban decay. It’s disturbing to think people live in some of these houses, though.
