Hurricane Irene has come and gone here in New Jersey. Some of us were hit hard and some were not. Last night was my first experience in a Hurricane, but in my area we were not hit hard. I did hear strange noises and there was a lot of wind and water.
All night my camera was shooting a time-lapse out the back sliding door window. Due to the lack of danger in my area, all I really captured was what looks like a heavy rain. Is that good or bad? Well, good for us, bad for photography. The lime-lapse was a big fail, but that is ok.
This morning, after breakfast, I took an exploratory walk around the neighborhood with Melissa and my sister-in-law, Lauren. The adventure was also lacking danger as very few trees fell, no wires down and only small puddles were on the streets.
Our walk was a giant loop to the main road and back. The walk back is where I saw some interesting things to photograph.
This is one of the photographs I captured during the walk. I am not sure what the building is, but I will not go inside until the area dries. I don’t trust a wet, ragged and abandoned building. So for now, I am calling it the abandoned shop.
More from the post Hurricane Irene walk to come.
Thanks for reading and happy shooting,
Scott
PS. As I write this, power is out. Using my phone as a wifi hotspot is dedication to the Project 52!
This would make a great shooting location for Eli Roth’s next gore filled splatterfest. If you squint hard enough you can almost see the hockey mask wearing maniac lurking in that shed.
I’ve never seen it but i’ll take your word for it :-)
