Abandoned, but Admired

Hi again!

If it isn't obvious yet, I like abandoned locations. Seriously.

These photos are of a place I've driven by multiple times and just never stopped. Every time, though, I've felt it calling to me.. well, to my camera, anyway.

Bonus Photo! The Nerve of that Fence

I have to admit that my true calling in life was likely that of an Urban Explorer, but alas, fences and locks give me pause.

Anyway, If it's abandoned, forgotten, or dilapidated - it's probably on my radar.

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you! I think I received a scam attempt. Someone emailed, stating that they loved my work, sent me 5 photos of the work they "loved", and told me they were "currently putting together a private NFT showcase, and your [my] work has the kind of uniqueness I am looking for," and offered nice $$$ figure. But, when I asked them for a link to their portfolio/website/other social media, details about their NFT showcase, their typical process for purchasing digital art, and their blockchain/wallet info, I received - you guessed it - no response. Hmmm.

(Disclaimer: wtf is NFT anyway? I had never heard of it, but a quick Google told me that, "NFT is a unique digital certificate on a blockchain that verifies ownership and authenticity of a one-of-a-kind digital photo, creating new revenue streams by selling rare, tamper-proof digital editions directly to collectors.")

Four days later, I guess they don't love my work anymore.

I'm a little sad about this because, I mean, obviously.

I choose to look at this as at least my work is out there.
