The first series is finished.
It actually already was finished as I took the photos nearly two months ago when I accidently found an old "abandoned" house as I visited a friend in Lower Saxony.
It took me so long to work over the photos and upload them because it wasn´t my camera which I used to make the photos but it was my friends one. So the photos went away with the cam and my first chance to get them I got about two week ago.
But at least I got them and could work over. We made over onehundred pictures but most of them are just for remembrance. `Cause we "collect" such houses and photograph every detail we can find before we don´t get a chance to take photos a secand time because the house was torn off.
And we give "our" houses names. This one was namend "alien-house" cause of the big alien face someone painted on the wall. But that wasn´t interesting enough to submit.
More on this topic?
Not really. Or just not now.
Next series MAYBE will be about the first middleage-market of this years season I´m gonna be at next week. Maybe.
If I get a camera. And the chance to work over the photos.

"The life gets harder as the stupidity of the people in your environment increases."

A friend of mine said this today.
It´s just so true.

In a fight, that´s not about life or death, it´s very hard to realize you´re the loser.
Nothing new,
nothing very philosophic.
But it hits with much more intensity when you experience it than reading/thinking about it.

Blood?

Just two to three words on that.
I browsed the "Horror & Macabre" section once more.
Very much "cut" pictures and such stuff.
Cutting arms, hearts, other parts of the body, posing "I hunt and kill you" images, drops/litres of blood accidentially placed here and there, bloody knifes allover (in bathtubs, sinks, on floors, beds et cetera), bloody jewelry, bloody lips, faces, bloody stuffed animals, bloody.. bloody...
blahblahblah.
Posing with masses of blood just isn´t coll, alternative, new or anything of that. The more of that the unconvincing it becomes.
There´s much blood in the world anyhow.
I recognize an old, dried bloodstain on my way into the city everytime. Nobody cares about that.
It´s much more interesting to find such stains than to cause dirt and dirty clothes with masses of fake, animal or your own blood. :/
Much more story behind that. No-one knows where/what/who it´s from and that´s the point.
One point more for abandoned houses with dried-up bloodstains and iron rods in.
Wah.

The charm of abandoned houses II

It´s a matter of everyday life how to get along with the actual circumstaces and make the best out of them. It´s a matter of "how to stay alive".
Most humans can´t "just die".
It´s an urge or appetence or something like that what makes people go on in even the worst situations, when they really have nothing left.
So when you think about how to attain tomorrow you think how this tomorrow actually could be.
One eye on the technical developement it could be advanced even further.
Because of the same reason some society- and/or humanity-destroing..incident could happen. Aliens could land on earth, be as friendly as possible or enslave everyone. One million dollars could get spend to anyone. All could live together in peace and harmony.... and so on.
Everything [could] happen but how realistic is it?
That´s not the question this time.

When I think about how tomorrow could be I see a mostly destroyed ground/sphere with just few shattered people left, a somehow dusty and abandoned environment in every detail from your little old neighboorhood to the last working factory in the next big town, the affected forest, the going hand in hand with the small count of human beings silence and so on.
A barren but somehow very pictorial and.. idyllic dystopian (anti-utopian) society.
For me.
I´m not confident of this idea, but I´d like to try to live in such a world for a time. We´ll see what comes and I´m curious about the future just as a spectator.

But back to the houses mentioned in the title.
When I was carrying away old, dead wood from my garden today afternoon I thougt about some abandoned houses for no reason. The houses I can see and "visit" look actually the same as "my" houses of "tomorrow". I think about both things but this never attracted attention.
But I think that just is the reason why I like them. Very simple. And obvious.
But whatever. Wrote about this none-saying topic far too long.

First realisation of the day: I now know why I like abandoned houses.
Second realisation of the day: My English still sucks.
Third realisation of the day: I wanted to say something else/more but I forgot it.
Damn.
