And a mouth.
Roscoe, MN Abandoned. Roscoe is a teeny tiny little town that is no more, but once was, in the Southeast corner of Goodhue County.
I was on my way home from Albert Lea yesterday and spied the broken remnants of house in some woods on the edge of a field. It was a typical abandoned house. It does very much look like it has eyes and a mouth…ooOOOoooo spooky.
Nice series of black and white Dan !
Thanks Joe
Yes!!!!… this is what keeps the dialog flowing in our SJCC club. We present every month in b/w, color (prints) and digital (open). We also share the take on a place… this is where you and Cindy come in. Because each of us has our own eye… I love to share both of what you two do. Our newer members can then get a visual on how to use what others see and then try and make it their own. Hope you don’t mind me ‘pimpin’ your blogs 🙂

Thanks Mike. I think blogging is an excellent way to explore one’s own photography. Putting it out there for all to see can be frightening for some. No pain -no gain; that certainly applies here. I’ve never been met with any negativity, but I suppose it is possible. I see it at a great learning tool. You have this wonderful tool to express yourself. It only makes sense in my mind to do so. There is a wealth of inspiration out there too by taking in and participating in the blogging community.
I say Pimp away 🙂
I have this “thing” for abandoned houses, too, although I have not photographed the interiors of any. Maybe I’m too afraid of trespassing or ???
I always wonder about the people who lived in these houses and why the house was abandoned. More often than not it’s to expand cropland.
They can be very dangerous. It is a double bonus when you can circumnavigate the exterior and shoot through the windows.
We have a derelict village nearby too. Great for photography. It is patrolled by 3 dogs, who bark a lot but I have not yet known to bite. Of course the next step is that the developers want to build a new, bigger, shinier village. I’d rather keep the spooks.
If only the property could talk. Although, the house seems to be speaking very loudly! Great find; I only wish I could have been there with you!
fabulous series…for some reason old, dilapidated, abandon house, vehicles, etc., appeal to me, not sure why, they just do.
Thanks Heather. For me, it is the textures, lighting and the history – what was this place, how many trips to town did this car make, etc.
