Inside an abandoned asylum my second portrait series has come to live. Photographed with only the available natural ligth. No flash or lamps just the basics as it was. Though Photoshop is used to enhance the look and feel a bit more.

Left = Psychotik delusion, Middle = Skizophrenia, Right = Diszociative id dizorder

DUTCH DESIGN WEEK
GLASS IS MORE!
20-28 OCTOBER 2012

For the 3rd time on roll the Past Glory will present together with Glass is more! at the Dutch Design Week a stills movie which shows pictures from a abandoned maison. However it's not directly about "delicious design". It gives a authentic feel of past times.

IN PROGRESS
MAISON KIRSCH
Tuesday 10-07-2012

Somewhere in a small village we entered a well preserved abandoned maison, known as Kirsch. Access was easy, it's not good protected by the everyday surroundings. Most of the furniture and personal things are still there, it's all well covered in dust and spiderwebs. Unbelievable that people/family have left their furniture behind, as well as paintings and pictures, books, eyeglasses and other really personal belongings. The attic has storage shelves with jars full of food. Simply beautiful with all different colors and structures. One can spend hours in here, every corner or room shows something else.

IN PROGRESS
ABANDONED
STEELPLANT
Monday 09-07-2012

It's massively BIG, it has more height than most flat's do, the location shows an impressive subtile color pallet, the lights and shadowplay is stunning [though really difficult to capture] and the atmosphere inside is unearthly surreal. And there are so many structures and shapes that it will make one dazzle! A picture can only give a glimpse of what the sight in real is! And it's so silenced, almost dull. Only the outside world is giving back some reality.
AMAZING

ABANDONED HOTEL?
Tuesday 03-07-2012

On a short 3 days urbex tour in B/L/France we needed a sleeping place. And this time no horrible car overnight please! At the edge of a small France village sheltered between bush and darkness we found our hotel for the night.

At first only a small dog is barking out loud, it almost looked like the hotel is closed. But after some time a nicely old lady came to the door. After some talking she must have thought it's all right and showed us a room! The hotel is in starting decline, paint is peeling, wall's are starting to crumble, the perfect place to stay. The lady told us that her husband had passed away 3 years back and that she wants to go back to her birthplace Köln. With sadness in her eyes she said the hotel is for sale.

ABANDONED CASTLE
Sunday 29-04-2012

Where 50 years ago was still water, there is now a unfinished castle abandoned in the field. The intention was/is to realize a 4-star hotel with, swimming pool, 200+ rooms and 2000 m2 of meeting rooms.

AMSTERDAM AMSTEL
Wenesday 21-03-2012

Amsterdam has a long history. The origins of the city lie in the 13th century, when fisherman living along the banks of the River Amstel built a bridge across the waterway near the IJ, then a large saltwater inlet. Wooden doors on the bridge served as a dam; these protected the town from the IJ, which often flooded the early settlement. The mouth of the Amstel, where the Damrak now is, formed a harbor, which became important for trade.

The Amstel serie will be shown on the ArtAntique 2012.

TRACTION SUD
REVISIT
05-03-2012

Traction Sud lies beautiful shattered between the bush, camouflaged by the colors and structures of nature. She is reclaiming what once belonged to her. After the last visit in august 2006 the decline has made a lot of progress. Certainly in the autumn and early spring this is a stunning sight to enjoy. Luckily most of the trucks are still there [2011], though some are gone. Sold, reconverted or demolished?

CHAMBRE DU COMMERCE
Wednesday 04-09-2011

The Chambre du Commerce alias CdC is an absolutely fabulous location. Rich in details, structures and subtile color tones. We had the opportunity to photograph this well protected beauty for more then 4 hours in 2011 and three revisits in March 2012. Amazing how a building with such a long history is abandoned!

As usual the gallery contains non hdri and unrealistic wideangled photography.

PLYMOUTH SEBRING SATELLITE 400PK
Sunday 19-09-2011

ZECHE XXL
Sunday 19-09-2011

This German mine was founded in 1927. In the heyday, the company had more than 3,000 employees. Yearly more than 2 million tons of coal where brought to the surface. Due to large coal reserves, the old part of the mine had to shut down. Beautiful are the coal conveyors with all its rails covered with black dust. Though the light in here is really difficult, a challenge to capture.

The adjacent area is still in operation today. Security is regularly checking the abandoned part, several times we had to hide to avoid attention. This made us a little bit itching...

ZECHE HUGO

SLATE QUARRY
Wednesday 20-07-2011

This old slate mine founded in 1906 was very long on my todo list. The decline is so strong that the place is a ruin by know, beautiful. But very dangerous, watch your steps!

The 170 meter deep quarry produced in her glory years more than a million slates a year. Owner of the company was the Donner family. Since 1995 the company was left abandoned. It seems like the place is partly demolished or is going to be!

ABANDONED MAISON
Saturday 04-06-2011

Somewhere in a small village on the outsides, we entered this old forgotten and abandoned maison. Inside there are lots of crumbled walls, pealing paint, rotten wood and spiderwebs to be found. The soul of this maison is still there, though she's disappearing quickly. Some parts like the attic and the shed's are very dangerous to enter.

Explored with Nanette & Dimi.

PREMETRO, THE UNUSED SUBWAY SYSTEM

ECVB POWER STATION [REVISIT]
Saturday 04-06-2011

A revisit [probably the 6th. time] to one of the finest abandoned power stations. ECVB is fairly unique in terms of abandoned industry. A small active part of this almost untouched [and hopefully it will stay that way] power station still gives everyday power to some surrounded industries. The only damage here is the result of natures efforts to reclaim its territory. Moss infected the turbines and machinery like an industrial disease, plants and grass grew from edges of the rusty metalwork.

With every visit more and more footsteps appear, but with the giant and impressive pipes, unique architecture and authenticity it seems to gain respect!

FOTOFESTIVAL NAARDEN [FFN2011]

CHATTILON CAR GRAVEYARD [Revisit]
Sunday 27-02-2011

Deeply hidden into the bush for many years, there was a beautifull car graveyard. I must say "was", because of the large amount of Urban Explorers the place is being cleared. The cars are removed and the bush and trees can finally start to take over the place again.

Still remember the first sight of this place, so pure and truly awesome! This place will be in my memory, luckily we could do a last shoot...

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN! [4 OUT OF 5] Tuesday 04-01-2011
