Crumbling Wall (Mar 26, 2006)
Bethlehem Steel's administration building (in Lackawanna/Buffalo, New York) has some serious problems with decay but of course, that's what makes it interesting.
Update Apr 17 2006: A gallery of photos from this location -- the Bethlehem Steel North Office - are now online. The photos can be found here: http://invisiblethreads.com/potd/collections/2006_bsno/

my girlfriend and i checked this place out yesterday. it was a bit too rotted for me - i struggled to get through two rolls. but we did run into a port authority maintenance worker in the entranceway - he was cool with us being there and even came down into the basement with us. he was a boiler maker at bethlehem right until the end. and then i left my 50mm hassey lens sitting on a windowsil and had to drive all the way back this morning to pick it up. sigh. did you happen to lose a 52mm lenscap? i found one on the second floor.

Excellent use of the rule of thirds.
The plaster crackline seems to chart the fate of the company.
Great meeting you today, Kendall.

What really grabs my attention is the red brick. I have never seen such as this before. The decomposition of this structure promises to be very interesting indeed.

Great symetry and lighting on this one Kendall.

This is one of my favorites in awhile (I wonder how often I say that). very graphic-design-y.

I'm so happy I found your p'blog today. The work you present is very original. I love your strict compostions. This one works very well, and the tones are great. Regards, Brent

Wow, great shot. I absolutely love the degeneration of the wall so that you can see the paint on one side of the photo and the brick/tile core on the other. Fantastic colors, textures, lines...amazing. I have to say this is one of my favorite shots in quite a while.
