Hidden History
by matt on Jul.08, 2010, under Blog
So recently I decided I want to start doing a fun little photographic project. One day at work I got to thinking about all the interesting and unusual sites that are all around us every day, but we never know they exist because they are in buildings we never enter. In particular I was thinking about buildings that no one enters. The forgotten places that are completely out of our thoughts until someone points them out. I don’t want to go into too many specifics about the places I am thinking of because it could possibly ruin the surprise of seeing the photos if I ever get a show of them together. I am calling the project Hidden History, and it will be called that until I think up a better name, or I forget about the project all together.
Here’s a few previews of photos that I may include in the series. They’re not exactly what I’m envisioning doing for the project, but they are closely related. If I thought it would be worth the effort, I would have gotten permission to go inside the abandoned Chinese restaurant to take pictures. But I didn’t bother because it seems like I can’t even go one day without seeing an abandoned pile of crab rangoons and fried dumplings. Nothing special about that. Anyway, here’s the pics.
