So yeh, for my tech work this Summer we were asked to do a 20 picture documentary book based on anything you want.

For my book, I shot one of the best things I love to shoot, old, derelict, runned down buildings.

So, I thought I would upload my 20 pictures to show you, and once I get the book and see what it’s like, well, you

never know, I could make some more!

All these pictures are in order to what they are in the book.  They are also H (high) D(dynamic) R (range) shots.

And at the end of the book I used this quote.

“But the dream is never forgotten, only put aside and never out of reach: Where once the dream connected boys with the world of men, now it reconnects men with the spirit of boys.”

John Thorn

I hope you enjoyed my collection as much as I enjoyed working on it!
