All three of these images were captured in Elora, Ontario, Canada at the site of an old mill on the Elora River. I was fascinated by how much was left standing of this structure, although all things considered there was more missing than present! Matt Neima and Steven Lederman, featured in this folio, along with some other friends were out for this photo jaunt. It was a bright day, allowing some significant blue skies mixed with the deteriorating building.

“The Inner Garden” – As per my last run, I am still experimenting with multiple exposures, but this image is the only example I have included this time. It was very bright, so I had to do a bit of calculated guessing at the stacking of the exposure times. I was fascinated by the garden like aspect inside the walls of this building. I also loved the fact I was shooting through a chain length fence. All three images were captured on my Sputnik which I acquired from John Thurston.

“Under deConstruction” – The strange position of the construction barrel, with the bizarre rebar jutting out of the old foundation caught my eye here. It was also an interesting optical illusion that the supports appear as though they are pushing the crumbling walls over rather than supporting them. The Fuji Provia 100F film did a nice job with the blue sky and drab greys.

“Stuck in the Corner” – Experimentation is at the core of my shooting. I was intrigued at how much the person in the corner disappeared due to the brightness of parts of the building. My attempt here was to slightly over expose the brightest part of the building, hopefully then under exposing the bottom right area. Maybe it worked…

Thanks to Steven Lederman for developing this film for me.
