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.

Yesterday I did a photo shoot with some friends at a Washington Metal Fabricators. Unfortunately the plant was mostly finished for the day but it still presented a number of great shots. So much of the time I am shooting, dead or dying buildings and industrial locations so it was great to get to shoot a living, working plant. WMF is very much alive and well. Enjoy these images from a real live Midwestern manufacturing company.
