Calm after the storm

Still searching for that look. Had sometime this morning to walk around the neighborhood where the studio is and found this at the end of street.

Stop Sign

Here is another photo from Centralia. Trying some new things out finding a new look for myself.

Luggage

We have a bunch of suitcases from a Samsonite shoot and we have to photograph some of them Monday. I was told to lay them out in the studio, so I made the best layout I could think of.

Centralia

Centralia, PA was a major coal mining town until the 1960's. At one time it had 27 saloons, 5 hotels and 6 churches. In 1962 a fire started in a stone shaft and spread to the gigantic mine that supported the town. Today there are only 7 residents left. The government declared eminent domain and relocated everyone that would move, the post office revoked the zip code, and slowly each vacant building was demolished. Today there are only 5 houses, 3 graveyards, and one church left. The streets are still there, but extremely overgrown with all different plants. I had to check the area out. Here are some 360 degree shots of two major intersections. The first is Main St. and Peach St. and the second is North St. and Paxton St.

Surf Day

Went surfing today. It was amazing, I actually caught a wave. I rode it on my stomach, but none the less I did ride it. Here are some shots of the other clowns that were there.

Dark Lunch

There are a ton of Chinese restaurants near me and I have been slowly trying them all to see which ones are good and which ones aren't. So this is this little one in the center of town that there were a bunch of Chinese people waiting outside of over the weekend so I figured it had to be good. I went in yesterday for lunch and the food was terrible, it was like someone grabbed a frozen bag of chinese food from a jewish grocery store and covered it in salt.
