While doing photography, I became slowly interested in the old and abandoned places. I released some of my pictures in
|
|
a `small urbex album on flickr <https://www.flickr.com/photos/adulau/sets/72157647990347697>`_. But my interest for such place
|
|
is irregular and especially with some peaks. These wanderings into a kind of decrepit world could be in contradiction with my
|
|
work on the movement, nature and people in the street. I strongly think that is the opposite where these dirty and old places
|
|
are there to show the evolution of life. There are not still pictures, the picture of the abandoned places is the key to the new
|
|
or the next step in our lives or environment.
|
|
|
|
The quote from the photographer, Sally Mann might reflect this:
|
|
|
|
"Photographs open doors into the past, but they also allow a look into the future."
|
|
-- `Sally Mann <http://sallymann.com/>`_
|
|
|
|
Urban exploration is not an adequate term as the main focus is made on the journey into old and lost worlds.
|
|
And the photography is relegated as an inventory step. I don't feel this as a tourist but more as a method to ensure that we are still alive.
|
|
My peaks seem to be a kind of fearless interests in decayed world to take picture of an ending world but showing the future. Photography is an act of living.
