Description
This unusual and vacant home is here in University Place, not too far from Day Island. The people who used to live there certainly had an affinity for "gingerbread" trim and "Little Dutch Boy/Girl" cutout designs. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it. They even had a matching structure that to me looks like a playhouse in the yard. It looks like a cinderblock home and from what my mother said was seen more in the 40's around here than the 50's. Regardless, I found this home totally fascinating from a photographic point of view. I chose to shoot this as an HDR using 3 different exposures. After tonemapping I worked with it further in Photoshop Elements 3, adding an Orton technique for more "kitschiness". The wet, rainy and windy weather added to the depressed mood I got from this abandoned home.
