architecture in the old south

[Beth Carter]

shots of abandoned buildings from around rural georgia.

 

[Pete Askew]

Excellent stuff, Beth. I love this sort of thing. Speaking of which, have you heard from Steve B recently?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, we miss Steve, but am heartened that you are contributing again, Beth. Good stuff. I assume the architect of the first was the famous Lee Ning?

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks guys. i haven't heard from Steve b lately. i'm pretty sure the architect off both of these buildings had three first names. billy earl ray or some such. i'm trying to get back into photography but crap keeps happening at work and it makes for long hours. this past weekend lost our 5th law enforcement officer to violence for the year. right now I'm on vacation and have some extra time.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Two great pictures. The soft tones add to the feeling of age and decay.

 

[Beth Carter]

thanks dave.

I like the second Beth. The impression of the vegetation taking its time to overrun the building.

Did you go inside?

thanks. no, i've seen enough horror movies and shows that i didn't bother going inside. it's all just going to turn into a soup sandwich if you go inside. next thing you know you're buddies are being eaten and you're getting chased by the monster or zombies out the front door and through some gator infested swamp and wind up running from the relative safety of the monster's swamp into the truly horrifying deliverance country and queue the banjo music. no thank you, i'll pass.

Ning Lee if I'm not mistaken.

i wouldn't eat there. quick way to a contagious death. we found some slightly safer bbq joints up the road, and a wonderful restaurant called skipper's fish camp in darien, ga, if you're ever in the area..

I get to Georgia from time-to-time. I'll try to remember that. Thanks.

Surely it's always on your mind @Brian Moore !

I'll leave the hamburgers alone and so shall Pete I believe, the buildings however, I would like to explore. Very interesting Beth.

you'd be very lucky to find that sort of meat on the menu. they likely served ditch crabs, water roaches and whatever crawled up through the floorboards that morning - all fried up until it's indistinguishable.

Right up my alley then!
