Today in Adrian it is an unseasonably warm, 51 degrees . The sky is blue, very blue. Since it is such a great day, I left the office building at 11 a.m. to pick up on my FOCUS photo assignment.
Walking down the tracks to photograph train cars, I saw what was left of a building. It had been spray painted and it had old tires stacked to the side of it. I walked up to the building to take a closer look. It was like I hit the jackpot! Photo opportunities everywhere I looked. Broken glass, a shoe, two chairs, a very nasty couch. What most people would see and look at would be garbage, to me it was just beautiful and perfect. I took a few photographs but I know I need to return and spend some more time there.
This afternoon, I photographed the second and third floors of the Democratic Headquarters in downtown Adrian. I was so excited to see those floors. On each floor contained suites of offices. I was so thrilled to see the paint peeling. But I was disappointed because all of the windows were covered up with wood. With the wood covering the windows, I could only shoot so much because there isn't any working lights on those floors. The pictures I took are with natural light and my strobe. I got a few pictures out of there that I love. Those photos are posted on my photo blog DCO's Photo Gallery.
It was a good day. It was 50 degrees in January and I got a few more photos to add to my FOCUS essay.
