OFFLINE - The New American Fossils.

….

The first time I stepped into the turbine room of an abandoned powerplant it caught me off guard and almost stole my breath. The scale of the chamber gave the shell a holy, cathedral like air. Both beautiful and horrible the space quickly transforms into the sinister hulking shell of a metal dinosaur leaving the viewer inside with the disconcerting knowledge that they are now stuck in the middle of its rusting and rotting bowels filled with machinery that becomes very serpentine. These places are overwhelming, so cold, alien, and inhuman, so dirty and decayed and neglected, yet they still hold so much power and continue to have a presence and a life of their own. Like they are -almost- still breathing or perhaps just took their final exhale.

I love doing mommy to be shoots! and sarah is pretty much the prettiest mommy to be ever!!

I forgot about this image until i was looking at some ohio related steel images today on Flickr. What makes this otherwise kinda boring photo is the old couple in the foreground complete with walker and little barking dog who were staring at me the entire time probably wondering what a girl from Massachusetts was doing wandering around in Steubensville, OH. Make sure you view it full size to see the detail.

I miss running around in the woods trying to find things like old paper mills, furnaces, tipples, coke ovens, ice houses, and other various relics of american industry. I really need to take a road trip soon as responsibilities and finances will allow
