The Creeps vs. Castle Hill Farm

Castle Hill was Ami's pick for the week and a marvelous at that. In fact, it was a good thing Ami was there to be nice to the boys with guns. I walked by silently with some irritation showing on my face...but she immediately said hello. She's much better with people than I am.

I love the look of abandoned places. The inside of this place was a little ruined by graffiti, but the outside alone was worth the trip. I've never seen half a house before, and there was even an abandoned truck. Perfect. I'd like to go back- preferably at a time when there's no one else there, to explore some more.

I have to say it was so bitterly cold that day. Those cheeks are pink for a reason! No makeup needed. And I could hardly work the camera with those thick gloves on.

Oh, also it needs to be said that working on these pictures was the first time I've ever used photoshop. Ami's a fucking pro, so just know that I have no idea what I'm doing yet.
