Unfortunate Endings

Today a fairly upbeat, hopefully, look at how things sometimes have unfortunate endings. I've tried to avoid the obvious broken down buildings and look for something a bit more quizzical. It goes back to the basic idea of looking for photographic themes and projects, which are always a fantastic way to finding more inspiration. There's a whole world of ideas out there, so it's just a matter of grasping them and turning them into something tangible. So, unfortunate endings......

Something that started out as a great looking idea, but soon ended in a stuttering engine that brought it all to a halt.

The fascinating interior of a derelict bothy on the Isle of Skye. Who lived there? Why did they abandon everything?

A remote hide that seemed a reasonable prospect from its interior, but looked rather more dubious when I went round to look at how it was built.

The Pentax and the Butterfly

I always carry my trusty Pentax MX-1, probably the best compact camera that I have ever used. It is staggeringly useful in terms of functions, not too large or heavy and sturdily made. It also has a great lens, the SMC Pentax 8-25mm f/1.8-2.5, comple...
