This is what they mean when they say art therapy. . . right?

“Dark matter is needed to hold galaxies together. Your mind is a galaxy. More dark than light. But the light makes it worthwhile.” – Matt Haig

 

I’m back.

Prime

This is me reluctantly agreeing with Denny that a prime lens is definitely what I needed…

Take Me to Church

Command me to be well

Church of Transfiguration, Buffalo, New York

Oasis

Sadly, global warming isn’t real – so it looks like I won’t be able to get as many of these shots.

I’m kidding

Our Father

Forgive us our trespasses as we (accidentally find ourselves in abandoned places) forgive those who trespass against us.

Hallowed Hallways

In the words of Al Capone (prisoner of these halls), “I have built my organization upon fear.”

Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia

Open Wide

Took me a month to get around to editing these pictures – clearly, I do not know the…drill.

Life will be good

Do what you love, love what you do (or do what you hate so that eventually you can do what you love).

Garden of the Gods, Colorado

Jack on the Rocks

There is no cold that Whiskey can’t fix. (It wasn’t cold in the Grand Canyon, but I’m more of talking about being sick)

South Kaibab Trail, Arizona

Lit

I mildly despise the lighting and composition of this picture, but I’m still going to post it. The red thing in the sky is a windsurfer. I miss the beach.

Hamburg Beach, New York

Planted

Two caveats.

  1. I totally put those dandelions there.
  2. This was taken in the era of me not even shooting in full quality JPEG so the image quality is poor at best.

 

Akron Falls, New York

Flares

November 16, 2017November 16, 2017 / SamanthaGierPhotography / 3 Comments

Totally ruining my continuity because I just want everybody to be reminded that there is a sun and although it is hiding right now it is still damn beautiful.

Peeling

My aunt used to work in this kitchen. Newsflash: no one works in it now.

Oculus

November 7, 2017November 7, 2017 / SamanthaGierPhotography / 2 Comments

I took this sitting in a chair with my camera pointing up – hovering near the 6 inches of frozen slush below me. Needless to say my nose was in all of the pictures – except this one.

ICantTellYou, New York

Jilted

It’s like jack in the box, but in a wheelchair, and much more f’d up.

Room for One

I am not into Halloween, but I am into abandonment. So this is not a Halloween post, it is an art of decay post. Or if you insist, it is a Halloween post. Boo.

 

ICan’tTellYou, New York

Closing In

A reminder for everyone to stay focused on the goal at hand and not the other bullshit. And by everyone. I mean just myself.

Front Park, Buffalo, New York

Beauty Before Darkness

October 24, 2017October 24, 2017 / SamanthaGierPhotography / 2 Comments

“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.”

This is my favorite sunset picture and my favorite quote so really this is my peak.

Wilkeson Pointe, (Buffalo) New York
