Exit Light

20100821_rtl0062_hdr
We hit the school at the right time of day. The sunlight cooperated by dropping in through the many skylights in the main hall and the corridors that flanked it. There were two types of skylights – the ones that were actually installed as part of the buildings design, and the gaping holes in the roof created by nature and neglect. The light on this wall was the result of the former.
It seemed odd to me, so much sunlight illuminating a place so dark and forgotten. While it made for good shooting, it made me wonder what this place was like when it was alive with activity.

    Haunting, but very appealing… this is something that I feel would sit very well as an album cover for a music band.

    Another great one! The walls appear to have been ravaged by the flames of hell.
