untouched memories

This is no fake, no special textures oder something added to make this look, it's just reality.
I catched this in an abandoned house which is in a deep sleep since over 40 years, everything has been left behind that way und nothing changed.
Over decades the things have been cocooned totally. It was simply stunning!

incredible how we can feel the heart/soul of the house, just looking at your photo.

Hi Sven - I love your photo! I am a beginner and wondering how you exposed this shot. What kind of lens and exposure settings did you use? Did you use a flash, and did you touch it up much in software afterwards?
Thanks much, and keep it up! :)

Beautiful. Best shot of the place I've seen so far!
Great job Sven!

Sven Fennema Thank you very much for such a big compliment Alain!

truly remarkable that in this day and age houses are left to theirselves for this long.

Your detections are fantastic, Sven.
Believe me or not - on Monday I'm usually browsing around the photo sites to find your newest pictures from your weekend trip - it's always a pleasure to watch them and to read the stories behind.
Keep on !

Your work is stunning! I love this room, and I imagine with your camera in hand it was hard to leave. I think I could shoot 16 gigabytes of objects in this room. A wonderful scene.
Best regards,
Phyllis

Sven Fennema Thanks for you kind words Phyllis!
Oh yes, it was a pure overflow, and that although much stuff has already been stolen! I tool some hundreds of pictures, were in there for over 6 hours

Amazing picture Sven, but what is more amazing that no one touched the innards of the house for forty years, no pilferage..nothing. Must be at place where people are contended..

Sven Fennema Thanks for you kind words Prateek!
It's really amazing, but sadly in the last weeks and months a lot of stuff has already been stolen, was sad to see, there was so much more - Not only nice people find such places :/

wonderful picture Sven ... that's what we talked about I think This is a great story combined with a super photo!!!!! Respect

Sven Fennema Many thanks Peter, I'm lucky today! :)

patricia sweeney 3 years ago

It's beautiful for sure, but I really wonder how this abandoned house has been able to stay unfound for so long! And if found, it's amazing to think everything is as it was...

Sven Fennema Thanks Patricia, we were wondering, too - still have to investigate more in the history, i think one reason is that neighboors paid attention on it, it is really hidden in a calm street - But since it became known last year already a lot of stuff is stolen there and i think soon the place will be trashed :(

patricia sweeney Oh, that's a shame! I hope you get to document it in photos, before that happens. Too bad it can't be totally protected. What a find though. Good luck!
