A much more dramatic take on the Forestville house, Forsaken is a five exposure HDR during a stormy day. I discovered this house while running CPO checks on several pools out in Wake Forest last summer. The owner asked me to leave the back half of the property after I passed a No Trespassing sign. After a long talk, I learned that I can actually just look up the property owner and ask permission. Even though I never got to explore the property, I'm glad I got to talk to him because it helped me out with future abandonment endeavors. Awards and Recognition: roguemark Gallery October 2014
My grandmother loves sunflowers. I remember when I was a kid, and she had this one taller than I was. Whenever we would visit her, I'd go out and ask if I could pick the seeds yet. At the time, it seemed like it was ten feet tall, though it was probably more around 4-6 feet. It's hard to say, with the persistence of memory. I can say it was nearly a foot to a foot in a half in diameter, though, not counting petals! I actually found these specimens on the side of the highway.

Chevelles are so common as to be mundane. Finding a unique picture of a Chevelle is like trying to take a unique picture of a neighborhood house built from a blueprint. Yes, its possible, and yes, the car might look good, but its so common that everybody's already done it. I decided to get in closer, and focus on this one's stamp of power.
