I tend to look at all the old photos of places we don't usually think of.i'm glad someone took the time 50 or so years ago to take a picture and allow me to see and feel what it was like then.your picture of the bowl that is being torn down won't be there for people to see and remember.i took some pictures of two old houses at least 75 yrs old that were torn down about 6 months later.a small bus stop replaced them but I can see and remember when the old houses were there.i always say,take the picture you never know when you will want to look back.

jim and dave your exactly right.i use a canon xsi rebel 12.2 mega pixel with my longest lens of 75-300.wish I had a dime for everytime I said,wish I had a 400.the only thing that keeps me grounded is when I get what I consider a nice picture with what I have.

Hahahaha.......so far birds haven't interested me. If birds interested me, i might as well go back to portrait shooting. Landscape doesn't have to pose.
I think i have all the gear that i need for landscape and architectural.
There's nothing on my want list. I have everything i ever wanted.
Am i doomed? Is there any hope for me?

I agree, birds do not interest me either. However, there is much more to nature/landscape photography. I would suggest you consider macro photography. This will open a whole new perspective on how you see things.

Nice Shots

Nice shots - Saw Simon & Garfunkle do a reunion concert in the Rubber Bowl a number of years back.
Next time you find yourself in Akron, they have a wonderful Metropark system to explore and you are on the doorstep of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Some very nice waterfalls there.

A little overdone
i am a portrait and product photographer..this was my first try at it. i have no idea what i was trying to achieve. as a matter of fact, this type of photography i do not know a thing about. i had no idea what i was even doing.
i'll get better as i go....supposed to be a great weekend up here in the UP, i'll get lots of practice.
i'll post some pics as i go along.
thanks for the criticism. i appreciate it.

you are exactly right. things change so fast around us...a photo is the only thing that makes time stand still.
the other day one of the guys here where i work brought in some old photos of the area. i noticed one that really caught my eye. the ground level was even with the road 40 years ago.......the house is still standing, but the ground level now is about 8 feet below the road level. there's hundreds of old iron ore mine shafts all over up here....without the photo, no one would have noticed. I was alarmed, but was told that's "normal".
photos tell the story.
i am going to start taking more and more photos. it's a shame i waited until i was 61 to get into this!!!

so your spots are safe.
i have always liked to see old barns, old churches and just old buildings. gonna look into those to photograph. there's tons of falling down old barns up here in northern michigan and northern wisconsin.
maybe it's because i am old and i relate to old things.
i am just glad my wife likes old stuff.

I too enjoy photographing old, derelict buildings, be they barns, houses or churches, they have so much character.
