If These Walls Could Speak

In keeping with the theme of my previous post, I have a few more Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) images I’d like to share. These are architectural in nature and were taken near my home in Crowsnest Pass. I enjoy photographing old buildings and it gave me an opportunity to try something different.

There are a lot of historic buildings and structures scattered throughout the towns and communities of Crowsnest Pass. Some have been around more than a century. Some are abandoned and falling down, while others continue to be maintained, used, and loved. Regardless of their current state, I’m sure they all have stories to tell. If their walls could speak, I wonder what they would they say?

    Brickwork Exposed is like an abstract painting. A Home From Long Ago is like an illusion in a dream. Both of them really work for me. Well Done. BTW. Are you still shaking?

      Hi Bob,

      I like these two photos too. Both were made by zooming in with my lens. I hope all this shaking/zooming didn’t make you too woozy. Thanks for your comments!

    Vic: Once again very intriguing photos. Great style. Chapel pic really pops with white, light blue then dark window and dark around the fringe. The trees/fringe look grassland like with wind. The blur effect gives impression of movement/life. Other favorites: Brickwork; Graffiti through window (like the darkness one side and contrasting glowing letters other side, red brick above, and lengthy look of shot with open window in distance and that hovering lamp shade looking thing); Walls that Speak with slim looking ghost( LOL); and favorite, Wall with Windows….Home from Long Ago is also pretty special.
    Cool stuff. Could see an exposition in this style.

      Hi Robert,

      I’m glad you like the photos. I’ll probably try doing more of these in the future. No shortage of places in the Pass for doing this type of photography. Thanks for popping in and commenting!
