I topped posting here a while back, as things never seemed to take off, at least not for photography. This platform saw its initial burst when Twitter was subsumed, but it staggered and slowed down quickly. I'm certain it is still big for politics, but it never seemed to take off for other media...

The words to this song make so much more sense as an adult now. Especially living in the US, watching the lights go out... "The grass was greener; the light was brighter...the ringing of the division bell had begun."

I haven't been posting much as of late. Things have seemed very...lackluster and ominous. With all that is going on in the world and especially here in the US, the anxiety and depression levels are at an all time high.

Is it me, or does it feel like we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop? For the hammer to fall and for the complete end of First Amendment rights to kick in? To wake up and find ourselves on a list for disagreeing, or to find our internet cut off. I'm not being hyperbolic here; true fears.

Abandonment photography can and is, in my mind, a commentary on how we treat history in our country. Especially when it comes to schools. The ruins of old schools equates to our nation's neglect and abandonment of critical thinking, forward movement and a future worth having... #abandoned #urbex
