Notes

A group of us went to an abandoned Brach's candy factory in Chicago. It was creepy good fun. My friend Otto was kind enough to be my model for a few shots while we were there. Thanks Otto... you kick ass!

Update: Thanks to Otto for pointing this out. We walked along the tracks that they're talking about in this video of a recent fire a the Brach's factory. Craziness.

Otto the Ninja photographer!
He looks stealth-like and aerodynamically designed to cut throught the air like a hot knife through butter. I like that you transposed him against the graffitti background Brandon, it's a great alto-ego impression of a gently kind man.

Very creepy. Dark and macabre, like an old horror movie.

Now that's how I like to turn out in photos.

Cool shot, Brandon. I was wondering how these were going to turn out.

Nice work Brandon, perfect framing of Otto against the background. Definitely give off a dark vibe!:)

It makes me think that there's something with "Budda" in this picture.. probably this skinny head.. and colors what are gone for good..

I like your blog... its sure bookmarked now ;)

Very very good. Seriously good, with lovely processing. You've done well with the grainy feel too. Well done.

I love the eeriness, and a kind of creepiness (no offence to Otto) that his image gives. Brilliant work!

Awesome shots in here. I dig the way you see things. I really want to start exploring some old buildings myself.

Fabulous - the dark figure is very crisp which leads me to believe that it is indeed a silhouette and not a shadow as I first thought. The tilt of the head bothers me slightly but kind of adds to the eerie, dark feel of the photograph. I like :)
