The second shoot I was able to do last week was at what I am calling the Graffiti Cathedral (for those of you who follow Tony Sweets blog, he has a Graffiti Underground). It is an old wood chip fuel storage house that was part of an old logging mill in the town of Vernonia. Sitting next to the old mill pond it has been the hangout for young people. As you can see they have been creating their own art work in there over the years. This was the first time there for my wife and I. It was like stepping into another world – a world of color in the midst of the grey of winter. My wife’s first impression was that of a church with stain glass windows replaced with graffiti – thus the name. As you will see I have had fun creating a set of images that convey that surreal feeling. Click on the main blog image to view a small gallery. I will definitely have to visit there again.
Blog images: The images were almost all shot as HDR images and processed with Photomatix Pro. They have been further processed with Nik Soft’s ColorEfxPro and SilverEfx. A couple have been mirrored as well.
