abandonments. decay. industrial mayhem.

I love ruins. Seattle used to have a great set of ruins at the gas works. I used to steal into it in the early 1960s to make drawings when I was going to the College of Architecture at the U of W. In the early 1970s I stole into to make photographs. Now it's a park. A nice park but most of the ruins have been painted. We have some nice ruins her on Whidbey Island. They are called Fort Casey. It was an Army artillery installation contolling access to Puget Sound. It was built 100 years ago. Now it is also a park but the concrete revetments are still there. I want to take some black and white pictures with the view camera. Maybe some color with the Salut-S.
