Description
~A secret place.Lair of a homeless madman, cast away by society.
Inaccessible and barricaded room, hidden in the murky depths of the Toronto abandoned Brickwerks factory.
Discovered accidentally by passing through winding underground tunnel, collapsed partway and littered with metal shards.
Tormented by loneliness, he sought to find the purpose of life.
A scholar if you will, of the new age.
The floor of the room as you can see, is littered with thousands of books, magazines, newspapers that the hobo has gathered over many years, now covered with thick layer of dust.
Waves upon waves of discarded objects.
In the back- a collection of artifacts: tapes, shoes, clothes, folders and plastic bags filled with newspaper cutouts.
Many of the bags- filled up with countless, disorganized notes, covered with scribbles, highlighted, underlined, crisscrossed numbers, letters and names.
... welcome to his world of chaos.

How long was Mr Ghost in the shot for? I saw it's only a 1/2 second exposure, so did he jump in at the last moment?

Interesting. I like the person that's partly blurred out.

Quite wonderful, I enjoy these latest photographical shoots because, despite peoples concerns about aesthetics, it harmonises perfectly with the conceptual and symbolic intentions, and with recognising this intent, the context of the aesthetic fixes itself and aligns itself with the perceptual perspective. The inherent chaos of this piece, its brilliance, is like a demonstration of its genius, the genius in an entropic pattern of chaotic antithetical pattern making. The ghostly figure of the person, with their ephemereal sensibilities, is much like our own shadows. I applaud it thus.

All of your locations are always so beautiful. Where do you find these places?

did you edited the picture? I mean, there are always some editing in order to contrast colors, but I'm sensing too much brightness on some spots causing me the chaos you're looking to provoque.

I see a ghostly figure. I had a dream that looked exactly like this. Thanks for stirring that one up again.

Whoa! Where did you find that place? It's hard to believe a place like that can exist. If only we made proper use of the space we had, it's kind of sad.
How did you get the ghostly figure in there? Was it a shutter speed adjustment or a computer manipulation after the fact?

slow shutter speed and a moving person

*nods* That's what I thought it was but sometimes you can never really tell. You did an excellent job of making sure the image wasn't over exposed.

it's triple exposure HDR- one for shadows, one for medium and one for highlights

This picture is amazing. The outward chaos seems to distract the viewer away from what they could really be seeing in this picture. Amid the destruction littering the ground is the ominous ghost-like apparition of a man, that never quiet seems to get into focus no matter how long you stare. It makes me feel like I'm being sucked into the very same madness I see in your photo...
Outstanding~

Great photo!! So.... the blurry guy in the back... that was intentional, right? There really is a man there and not my eyes laughing at me? o_o

This was a really amazing photograph. I would love to have discovered it and read all the notes. Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks, but is there a blurry outline of a person standing in the left side of the picture?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I saw that too...., but I dont want the answer. It's an awesome mistery, huh.
