In fact, you would have enjoyed the exhibit I had last year of another abandoned factory titled, "Death of a Revolution." The project ended up depicting another abandoned factory but focused on the human elements remaining that gave a sense of what life was like in this 'blue collar' factory and the industrial revolution. The portfolio sits on my website at http://www.rjiphotography.com<br /><br />Thanks so much.<br /><br />BobBob Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372528707473112894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958733769038859929.post-40154690155485745292010-01-10T08:20:24.764-06:002010-01-10T08:20:24.764-06:00Bob, thanks to Usha, I just found your blog! I'...Bob, thanks to Usha, I just found your blog! I've looked at all the recent images from the present back to this one - which stopped me cold! Altho I liked the other images, including the one with the blue moon, and think they are excellent - these two images - together - well, there's something special that grabbed me!<br /><br />The top one of the abandoned factory - shows pillars still holding up a roof. The next images show pillars that have lost their "roof" and therefore their "purpose in life." And so are rotting away, forgotten, abandoned.<br /><br />Just as apparently will happen sooner than later to the pillars in the upper image.<br /><br />A metaphor for our present day deteriorating society? We're losing our pillars that have upheld our civilization, via our Constitution and Bill of Rights - pillars like decency, awareness, helpfulness, sense of community, respect, personal freedom civic order that we impose upon ourselves and not by ruling forces - I could go on and on.<br /><br />FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958733769038859929.post-52120169384851274522009-11-29T18:41:00.823-06:002009-11-29T18:41:00.823-06:00Love the first one....Lighting looks ethereal.Love the first one....Lighting looks ethereal.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036826451548387026noreply@blogger.com
