To Russia With Awe

The abandoned and derelict places captured in German and Russian photos always seems to captivate my senses. Dark colours, particularly that of grey contrasting with white, further enhances the depicted mysteriousness, sadness and loneliness left behind. As if forgotten by both people and time.

Ally Law: In All Seriousness or the Lack of It

In all seriousness, or perhaps a complete lack of it, the dreary mundane routine of life is finally cracked. Albeit, ever so slightly. A life best suited to a tranquillised zombie.
