i don’t know about you, but i get a little anxious about entering abandoned buildings by myself. that’s why i am thoroughly enjoying the spectacular light and composition in this haunting series of decaying interiors from intrepid local artist eric holubow. having grown up in an urban environment, eric says that he’s always been attracted to modern architectural ruins like these, and can see rich beauty in unraveling and disintegration. once you see the stories told in these pieces, you wouldn’t even consider arguing the point.

i want to invite you guys to have a look at the ongoing series of vintage doll and figurine portraits i’m currently working on. i photograph the dolls in their “natural habitat” at thrift and antique shops and do not pose them. sometimes the results are more surprising than i think they’ll be.

i am having a really good time with this collection, and perhaps i should mention that this post is sort of a hint about my big creative endeavor? more details to come, soon… :)
