Those who know me personally are aware that my photography of abandonements has very little to do with documenting the places I visit. While I definitely have an interest in the history of the sites, I try to recreate the feeling I had when I was at a particular abandonement. Sometimes, doing so takes some time and you've got to let the image and your treatment of it perculate.
I took this image in one of Buffalo's grain elevators a few months ago. While I liked this image from the moment I shot it, I was never 100% happy with the mood evoked by it. Every now and then I would go back to the image and work on it some more. It wasn't until recently that I finally got to a final product that I think captures the mood I felt when I'd taken the image in the first place.
