The bright, bright morning
That morning dawned bright, and illuminated the interior of Union Station in a very nice way.

This is private property
I won’t lie: I sort of wanted to wander around this housing complex, because I was pretty sure there were many things there that needed to be photographed. But there was that whole “criminal trespass” thing…

The Rhythm of the Space
Remember this old place from three years ago?
This is what the outside looks like now – it’s (finally!) under renovation and all the “decorative” metal siding’s been stripped off, and you can see that it used to be white, and turquoise. Well, YOU can’t see that, since this is a black and white image, but I saw it.
That’s neither here nor there. What I really like about this is the way the entire frame devolves into about a million rectangles.

A sense of abandonment
I rented a (very) wide angle lens*, and spent a good part of the weekend putting it through its paces. Now, you already know how much I love shooting interiors of empty places, so you won’t be surprised that I really, really like shooting them with (very) wide angle lenses.
Anyway, I was pretty fond of the interior of this place; I like all the curves and how they’re offset by that one, stark shelving unit on one side and by the graphic border design on the other.

First Date
In the summer of 1974, I went to this restaurant for a date with a boy who would go on to become my ex-boyfriend.
The restaurant fared better, and lasted until just a couple of years ago. New owners decided on a full-scale renovation before re-opening; unfortunately they were in over their heads and the renovation wasn’t completed. The building’s vacant and nothing seems to be going on there at all. Except for the usual incremental deterioration, which will probably only get noticed after it’s too late to stop it.
