What can I say, I love my city. At least it’ll hopefully look good after they’re done renovating it.

In other (joyous) news, ‘The World According To My Camera’ (not to mention the owner) is positively glowing with delight since Onexposure (which is probably the most awesome multi-artist online photography gallery around) published my first photo. Not only did this make that particular photo doubly significant to me, but I also couldn’t believe the feedback and warm welcome I got from both screeners and commentators alike. I definitely hope this to be only the first of several such events.
Cheers!

Till I decide to go running around abandoned building sites again, anyway. Also, that was actually my grandfather’s ball-game-on-Saturday-afternoon radio, but for some reason it still reminds me of that very song (which I happen to really, really like, by the way). Either way, enjoy!

And in other news, my little arts and crafts project is finally complete (boy, it took me a while) and I know it’s not perfect, but I’m actually quite pleased with the way it turned out. If anyone would care to take a look, I give you… <drumroll>… The World According To My Camera: The Album (Vol. I). Cheers!

I couldn’t find the exact type of site I was looking for, but the one I did go with still made for a couple of decent photos, or so I like to think.

Without further ado, urban decay – the sequel:

The problem, however, is that you’re usually likely to find more than just good photo opportunities in such places, and the expensive camera and dorky look don’t do much for one’s safety.

Which is why I was beyond delighted earlier this evening to find something along those lines, hiding in plain sight. If anyone has any doubts as to the integrity of the scene, I assure you the empty bottles were there to begin with. I found the entire decor simply too priceless to meddle with it.

So without further ado, I give you Urban Decay… with a twist.

As a side note, I have now officially vandalized the first public place with one of my infamous stickers. I kept it decent enough, though, no harm done.
