The 'Abandoned Shit Weekly' contest by 
Now, since it's not a photography contest I often have looked through my pictures and selected a different picture than I would otherwise have done. The 'best' pictures of my Urban Exploration adventures are not always the ones that would win the Abandoned Shit contest. Simply because they are more artistic than really showing how amazing the place is overall.
Today I'm taking a bit of a gamble, but since this week's theme is 'Black & White' (which I consider more as an arty theme than a theme based on content) I am posting a picture that is a bit more artistic than my other entries in this contest.
Since I got asked before 'what am I seeing exactly?': I'm standing in front of a wall with graffiti sprayed on it. The wall goes around a corner, but you don't see that part of the wall because I purposely left it out of the picture. Instead I've positioned myself in a way so that about half of the picture shows the artwork, and the other half shows a corridor. It's a corridor in the abandoned and immensely impressive 'Fort de la Chartreuse'.
I remember the excitement while I was taking this picture, because I was walking around the fort with three other photographers with different experience levels, but somehow knew that although we would have some overlapping themes in our picture, this one somehow was exemplary for me and what I see as a photographer.
As always, check out 's contest and join with your own Abandoned Shit! Last week's theme (Overgrowth) got some pretty cool entries, so you might want to check those out too!
