yakima trip

So we went to Yakima for Christmas and as I try to do every time I go out to photograph. so i left Robyn and the kids at my parents house and drove around the city i grew up in. The lighting wasn't the best but a project is a project and if I waited around for perfect conditions I would get out of practice real fast. The First shot if an old parking lot near the old Yakima mall. The second shot is off of front street across from the jail.(this area is being renivated) The third is in Union Gap on the main drag. And finally is a sign by 36th and Summitview between the abandoned/closed DairyQueen and a Pappa Johns.

car explosion

So the other night we woke up to a load bang along with all of the windows and doors rattle in the house. we then heard sirens and that got us up. at the end of our block there was a fire, we found out that it was a car that exploded. it even melted the mailbox it was parked by.

return to the abandoned school

my boss's have been out of town this week leaving me to take some me time. the historical society is working on turning this into a musuem when it is all finished. it has been a work in progress for several years.

abandoned strip mall

there was a note on the door that the business's were evicted in 2005. some of the doors have been broken out and there was some people living in a 5th wheel behind the place. i need to go back with tripod and film and trespass inside to photograph.

more school posts

The original two-story Lincoln School was built in 1916. East and west additions were added in 1922. The “portable” came in 1929; 10 years later the site was completed with the addition of a gymnasium. The school served thousands of students before being shuttered in 1978.
