Stopping Time

A lot of what I love about photography is the ability of a photograph to stop time. The spirit and feeling of a thing, person, or place is captured and will persist though the object itself is gone.

One of my first explores was the old house of Steve Jobs. It was a fairly popular place because of its accessibility and location. It was boarded up totally for years after it was left vacant. I had gone a few times to shoot exteriors but never went inside (too afraid of the dark and crawling through tight places to get in). One day I went and all the boards were gone.

Here is what I shot:

The place itself is gone now, but the photos remain. I just wish I had another chance to go before it was destroyed.

Anyone else have that feeling? That odd feeling of holding a ghost in your hands?
