Hmmmm….this is gorgeous! The name Venom makes me curious though. Is there something inside we should know about? Windows open for ventilation …

  Thanks Christina! It was an abandoned industrial warehouse, lots of industrial waste laying around. Fairly tricky to navigate through. Glad for the open windows haha. 🙂

What is the story behind your choice of title here ?

  It was titled more because of the things found inside it. It was a defunct industrial space with no regards to any type of clean up. So “Venom” in this particular usage was in more of a metaphorical sense at the disregard for who or what would wander in while the doors were left open.

Lots of emotion in this one…I like the brewing storm and the quiet waiting of the old building that has seen many in its lifetime. Very nice.

I think I have probably “liked” most of your posts. I can’t help myself. The combination of your subject choices and processing style had me at hello 🙂 I really enjoy your photos!

  Thank you Joylene! I enjoy your photographs also! I’ve always wanted to take more portraits, working more with people instead of beat-up abandoned places. 🙂
