day 259: "hardware". on my lunch break i took a quick trip down route 1 and turned off olden ave. in trenton looking for a shot. there seems to be a whole lot of people not working in this area. and, honestly, a few of the areas i wanted to take shots of looked like i would be getting shot at. all in all, the area is a total dump unless you enjoy plywood and stripped cars. i am sure at one time this was a gorgeous city. now it rhymes with "city". i plan on making a return to the area.
day 159: "for humans only". today i watched a cool trailer for "district 9" directed by Neill Blomkamp and got inspired to do some composite work using signage from the movie. i worked up some fake signs in illustrator, dropped them into photoshop, rasterized the layer and did a little brushwork to distress the additions. the photo was taken at a now-vacant warehouse in the pureland complex off of exit 10 from 295. the trailer can be seen at http://www.d-9.com.
day 111: "penn bowl - after rolling a financial gutter". penn bowl is now a vacant hole. it is located in the pennsville shopping center next to our also vacant movie theatre. my daughter wanted to go out and snag some quick photos and this was one of our stops. we tried the laundromat but as we set up (hanging out of the ghetto corolla) we got some looks of suspicion and annoyance. we will attempt again but from bikes. a parked car with lenses sticking out of the window looks bad. and the chances of having to answer questions to roving police is too high. i am quickly running out of local places to shoot that don't involve angry dogs and shotguns waved my way. i applied an "aged photo" filter to the photo via lightroom to give it a bit more gloom.
day 109: "abducted, abused and left alone". i spotted a lone shopping cart sitting in the depressing, vacant parking lot of merchant square off of governor prince blvd. in wilmington, delaware. there are no target stores near here along with no signs of life or hope. i liked how the 2-wheeled cart is symbolic of our economy and the current "solutions" being pushed on us to "get the economy moving". yep, 2-wheeled stimulus plan. my apologies for getting a little political with my shot today.
