Images from Rural Mequon Wisconsin


 On my many trips to visit Mequon Wisconsin I noticed this abandoned farm house and barn. Mequon appears to be on the verge of development so I would expect this farm to soon be converted into a suburban development or retail center. Part of it is already being reclaimed by nature. The house that had been most recently partially renovated has been damaged by vandalism. A failed attempt at a new life given up. The farm is from another time complete with out house and likely once was quite important to a family who worked the land. But now that land is mostly gone. Yet the farm likely still has emotional links and latent memories. All of this results in a sense of mystery which I think leaves a sense of the hidden and unsaid in these photos.

Rural In Winter

The light is just different at different times of the year. Here are three images from a recent trip I took to Indiana for work. The Winter light certainly is evident in all three. I particularly like the Castle Silo and Historic Pink and Pealing!

JEAN-CLAUDE BERENS

Urban Visions Web Site



In my many searches for inspiration I came across this site. These are meticulously crafted HDR images of urban decay, architecture and landscapes. He is a self taught European photographer who lives in Luxembourg. Amazing stuff.
