Recently my wife and I had the opportunity to take some time off from our busy work schedules back in May to visit family and spend some time disconnected from social media<\/a> and business contacts. With the amount of work we do its great to just shut down. Sadly, I still had my business cell phone and sales email that I had to check at least once a day, but other than that I was free. During these trips, I am always on the look out for different media I can take pictures with either to use on the blog, to add to my very small portfolio, or use on my client websites. Even though I do not have a professional Digital SLR<\/a>, I carry a small Canon PowerShot SD960 IS<\/a>, I try and carry the camera with to take pictures with. You never know what once in a life time shot you could take. I love this little camera it takes good shots in auto macro<\/a> and even better when you choose the right Macro for the shot you are taking. But it is not the best in Late after sun. It tends to white wash the images. But that’s what color correction<\/a> is for. I also like it because it easy to conceal and its a lot easier to carry one of these than some of its bigger brothers.<\/p>\n

During our trip we drove down to Galveston, TX to hang out at the beach for a few days. When we go on road trips I always look for abandoned cars or buildings that have been abandoned that have the potential of creating images of Urban Decay.<\/p>\n

Urban Decay<\/h2>\n

One of my favorite genre of photography<\/a> is urban decay<\/a>. This can be of old abandoned buildings, houses, farm equipment, or old cars left somewhere to rust away and die from the elements. I do not know what it is that I like so much of this type of photography. I know, for the cars it the potential to take an old car and bring it back to life or just to imagine what they might have been…<\/p>\n

On this trip I did not find many buildings or farm houses to shot but I did find a bunch of old cars to shoot. During this trip I was only able to shoot one location. The pictures I shot are of old cars from 40s; mostly Studebaker<\/a>, Packards<\/a>, and old trucks from the 30s and 40s.\u00a0 I won’t mentioned the location of these cars but I found them out in a field. These are mostly rusted out shells. They were left to die in an unused field. What was strange was I could not find who owned the field and no one around new anything of the field and cars. They just said they have been there for years, if not decades. In the future, I will look more in this car grave yard. But for now lets just enjoy the images…<\/p>\n

Below are some of the pictures I took of them. All of them are still rough, but have been color corrected and still need some advanced editing…<\/p>\n
