  • In this video, Teena and I visited an abandoned row of abandoned buildings that still stand inside a neighborhood in the community of Seale, Alabama. I shot the buildings in B&W with the Fujifilm GFX100S and stitched them together into a 132-inch wide panorama.

    The trim work above the windows and at the roofline on that feed building is interesting. That panorama is really cool. Thanks for taking us along!

      Thanks Charlie - I have wanted to try that pano idea for a while -- and even made some individual shots at places like Union Level, but after seeing how hard it was to composite, this will likely be the last one! Hahahahaha.

    Absolutely stunning panoramic photo. Can't help but imagine the pride of first day opening of that drug store to the sadness on it's last day trading. The conversations that must have taken place from customers enjoying a soda. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you Emma! What you bring up is the real poignance of these abandoned places I think

    Hello, my dearest friends in the USA.
    I again enjoyed watching this documentary about this abandoned city.
    Beautiful photo and video work only makes this pleasure even greater.
    I would like to see a "long" documentary about you.
    A documentary of, for example, an hour and a half.
    Because, with my modest knowledge, the work you deliver is now ready for that.
    And there are plenty of places in the USA to make this happen.
    Have I told you yet that I bought a new camera?
    The Lumix G9 mark II with a Leica Summilux lens.
    This is really a big step for me in terms of quality.
    This is truly exceptional, my friend.
    My still lifes look much more professional now if you know what I mean.
    I know that it is not the camera but the photographer who takes the photo, but it is useful if you have good tools for that.
    And I can now continue with that for quite some time.
    Thank you for this video.
    Don't forget to say Hi to Teena from me.
    I wish you all the best, my dear friends.
    Kind regards from the Netherlands,
    Antoine.

      I'm so glad you're enjoying the Lumix! I think a good camera definitely helps a competent photographer do better work. Thanks for the suggestion of the documentary! Very kind of you to think of that! Teena said to tell you hello -- she always waits for your comments.

    Another great video and the panoramic was indeed very cool! Just found out that my niece will be going back to school in Montgomery soon, so maybe someday I will have a chance to swing through Seale myself.

      Let me know if you find the old bank!

    Seems like a fun day and a neat place to photograph. I know what you mean about "nosey" bystanders. For the most part, they mean well, but some can really get crazy. Stay safe...

    I knew a man named Dotson who rode and trained race horses and moved about the country back in the 1960's

      Of course! We just try not to do it in camera. Clean audio is easier to work with later
