Zer0 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Great pictures Chris. The quality is amazing. Some pretty gloomy pictures though... Amazing nonetheless. The first picture of the abandoned hotel is my favorite. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks! My photography has always been very textural, I like to find the beauty in otherwise uninteresting, or undesirable subjects. I'm drawn to grunge, clean and new is just so boring. Link to comment
d9hp Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Very grunge. That dumpster photograph is perfect. Great editing throughout. I could definitely see these blown up all over my house. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 That's the idea! I'm exploring this concept for a future art show, if I can narrow it down. For now, I continue to shoot and experiment. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 When you say editing... What exactly do you edit on these photos? Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Lens distortion and perspective corrections, color correction with a slight tint, sometimes cropping. Link to comment

jeremai Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love the vintage 70s type feel that some of them have. Architecture and design from the 70s has always tugged at me. Also, the tentacles. Link to comment

Mini-Dude Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I love the golden dumpster and the 4800. How much would one of those cost lol Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 More from yesterday. I walked through some new neighborhoods for about 4 hours, then I went back to shoot the silver trailer in softer light. We've had some rare cloudy days, it's a nice change from such intense sun.
