When
you wander about with a camera in an
area targeted for demolition, it is
only natural that the residents treat
you with suspicion or aggression. The
best approach would be to explain your
intentions. As it turned out in this
case, all they wanted was for someone
to listen to their grievances.
Story: Walk
instead of twist
Many of the houses are made of
patchwork material as neighbours who
moved out took the walls and roof with
them. A sort of weird scorched earth
policy.
Instead of twisting the zoom barrel,
walk closer and notice how the reflections
change. Selective framing via a tight
in-camera crop produced a more dramatic
picture than a casual and aloof overview
(left).
