an exploration of anything derelict, neglected, unloved, inconsequential, easily ignored, reclaimed, re edited, re purposed, recycled, remixed. And anything else out there we try to ignore, the stuff of the crevices of society. The places we don't go and don't talk about, the times we try to forget. A cinematic look at the shadows of our existence.

abney park cemetary, stoke newington, london
so this qualifies for abandoned spaces for the fact the church that inhabits it's center is a hollowed out cave of itself. and i feel my photography of cemetaries has thus far been neglected despite that being where i began this path withen this life. this cemetary had a very active shall we say love life , in the shrubberies and over brush. i visited here many times with my camera not for the human activity but the state of disarray i had never experienced in a neatly trimmed American cemetery, it was so much more as one heard and imagined cemeteries being, for me it was. these photos are from 1995, i will append dates as i find more.
wiki
and now for my blog devoted to the documentation of cemeteries...
come one come all...
cemeteries i have known and loved
