Travels With My Camera – Part 2 | Joan Blease Photography

I am slowly going through the pictures from my visit to North Carolina to visit with my friend and brilliant photographer Marie Otero.

I’ve already posted the pictures from the first couple of days so here is what happened next

One lovely barmy evening Marie, her husband Rick and I dodged the local police and trespassed in a disused school – it was FANTASTIC !!

There was so much to photograph I could have stayed there all day.

Rick kept guard outside whilst Marie and I went inside, we even went upstairs ! it was a bit rickety…. but worth it, so much to photograph.

There were a number of buildings – some more dilapidated than others and crossing over the road – dodging the traffic (they drive on the wrong side of the road you know !) and watching for the police we found an abandoned chapel. It just looked like everyone had up and left a bit spooky.

I have to confess that this wasn’t the only time we went trespassing the next time I we did it I was really scared……. more of that later.

I love the broken window and the way the ivy is beginning to encroach on the interior … Nature reclaiming the environment. Just beautiful. (And those toilets …euugh, but that photograph has got to be a prizewinner.)
