    thank you for these photos and talking about your experiences. Am forwarding this to a couple friends. The rainbow over the field of wrecked cars and the deer jumping over the fence are 2 of my favorite shots! Hope you have plenty of time left to continue this activity.

    Artistically your art is so evocative.
    I'm saddened to hear how much of this is being lost.
    I appreciate your respect towards these abandoned places.
    Personally I would prefer to know as much of the history to each place as possible. Even when the physical is ultimately lost, that known history can create it's own link to remembering what once was.

    Amazing, what a blessing for this talented artist to document this history before it slips away.

    Brendon's images tug at the heart, strike a chord in the soul. The bittersweet reality of the ephemeral nature of life permeates his photos.
    No matter where they are, when I come across old, dilapidated houses, I try to imagine the family that lived there. I think about how they went about their lives, the day-to-day drudgery with the sparks of joy infused now and then, their hopes, their dreams. I wonder where they are, or even _if_ they are anymore.

    I love your story and your artistry. Living in the Palouse region of southeastern area of Washington state and northern Idaho for decades, those abandoned houses and farms have long attracted my attention as well.

    It’s always exciting to meet another PNW photographer who feels the same attachment to the eastern plains that I do. I was out in Gilliam and Wheeler county last weekend and stopped at the same house seen in the opening shots. I absolutely agree about both trying to convey the stillness of these places and having a role in documentation. Seeing the Kingsley cemetery before and after the Substation Fire, for example, really brought home how fragile these remains can be. I also understand what you mean about the finite subject matter. My initial interest was entire ghost towns in Oregon, and the really significant ones can be counted on two hands. But for now there’s still more to see!
