New England Ruins _ Rob Dobi, photographer

I'm very picky about photography. As a designer, it's hard for me to look at things that already exist naturally and say "hmm that would make a good photo" I guess I like to rearrange. organize or even stage elements. That's not to say I don't respect photography, on the contrary, I have the utmost respect for it because I can't do it. I understand it, I just don't feel I can do the media justice I suppose. This site was sent to me by an old friend who thought I'd enjoy it. In response to his instant message I said this:

if i was a photographer this is exactly the kind of photography i'd take. even the photos i've dabbled in where all compositions of architecture and corridors and the like. and i have always been fascinated by abandoned places. so many stories. thanks for sharing this site. i'll probably blog about it.

So that being said, please enjoy these photos. I find them creepy, awe inspiring, and composed extremely well. Enjoy!
