Good capture of a simple scene that turns quite sinister after some thought. Probably just my imagination, since Rob might call it "therapeutic".
Here are some more shots of old machinery in an abandoned factory.
To avoid hijacking another LuLa thread: this is at Har HaBayit, aka al-Haram esh-Sharif, aka the Temple Mount. Taken (via Fujichrome 100, I think) in late summer 1984.-Dave-
Puts me in mind of Fernand Leger and Rene Magritte.
Wasn't it Leger that William Klein studied under in Paris? Interesting (if that's so) that some photographers feel a connecting vibe from some non-photographers, quite without really being aware of it. I think Klein was more interested in graphics than photography at the time...So many things about vision and perceptions that we probably don't understand too clearly, even if we perhaps suspect they are there somewhere under the surface.
Cool. I like #2 and #4 best.
Thank you JNB, and Rob, and Keith.Yes, I love the un-genred genre of the WP thread!Eric
I like that image! Your title reminded me of this place, below. I could only imagine what went on behind those strange, little doors (no company signage to be found). I wasn't going to knock to find out!
Yes, two and four, I really like. JR

Another. I have no idea what went on here. The building was immense and filled with strange (to me) machines. One whole wall (the back side, away from the street) was missing, which is how I was able to walk in. I didn't stay long as there were signs that someone had been living there. A few months later, however, the whole thing was demolished.
Very much like your abandoned industrial site series. I guess all from Hamilton?JR
