ABANDONED

I CAME ACROSS THIS SCENE IN DUBUQUE IOWA. IT WAS BEHIND AN ABANDONED BREWERY THAT WAS SOON TO BE DEMOLISHED. I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE DISTRESSED RUSTY COLORS AND TEXTURES OF THE BUILDING . I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE MANY MODIFICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO IT OVER THE YEARS AND THE WEAR AND TEAR THAT IT HAS ENDURED. FOR ME, OLD BUILDINGS LIKE THIS ARE NOT UNLIKE US. WE ENDURE MUCH AND AS TIME PASSES, ALL THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED, OUR WRINKLES, OUR GRAY HAIR AND SCARS ARE ALL EVIDENT.
