stupid question

sggerino1@aol.com — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 07:14:58 GMT

damn writers block questions! i was just about to post; aint got no writers block! go away.

however the air is now better to breathe. i've come in to a new camera, best orgasm i've ever had. that's all there is to say!

i celebrated with a new place on my list, HOME PLACE PLANTATION.
though it's boarded up i hear the owners live nearby and are real
friendly. at least that's what the cop said who interrupted my shoot.
i'll have to charm the keys out of these people.

It's the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. What season do you want it to be where you live?

crawfish season!

welcome to abita

sggerino1@aol.com — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:21:53 GMT

the city of abita springs is a typical example of small town louisiana. blend backwoods with weirdos and you get this quaint place, fit with microbrewery and freak-show museum.
thank you, abita, for becoming my favorite deposit in the state.
come see what i saw.

the one, the only... UCM MUSEUM.

stop jumping on the bed!

a grand farewell from my mother and me.

ain't no excuse

been gone too long, though i've had pictures for a while. who is going to see this? not you, not me... ok, definitely me, but not you, not them, not anyone.

inside former NOCCA building of previous post, october 2008.

a very old school in my neighborhood, over one hundred years old; completely neglected. its a beautiful space about ten years empty and could be useful if the city would only take a look at it.

whoa! been a while! lost internet, went to lots of coffee shops.
i hate coffee, so i ask for juice. they have no juice.
i had to pay for water to use the internet.
just awful.

but september was eventful!

BANKSY was in town...

I scoured a building in my neighborhood that i had completely forgotten about...

(more to come)

and the highlight... STEREOLAB.

september: a good month?
fuck yes!

so it was totally a katrina casualty, i had no idea. i try not to go to those places as much as ones that are just plain old and decrepit, but i will make this exception. because the place is fucking rad.

Mama!

same old story.

sggerino1@aol.com — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 06:48:14 GMT

crikey! what a busy weekend. glad i can now relax on my bum instead of my on my feet. lets celebrate!

this one isn't any good. i know.

but i'd love to start collecting driftwood, make a table or bench or something... maybe a tree house! this was one of those sunny, rainy days next to the river.

on a different note.

i came back to THIS place, my favorite place, one free afternoon last week expecting to have to hop the fence and low and behold, 'twas open again! looks like some construction is happening inside, there were work tables and a few holes dug in the ground. left me uneasy. i'll die if they tear this place down. i've already nearly had a heart attack when the school was razed.

before i went in i stopped two guys in hopes of them knowing what this place was used for. instead i just learned that the area is called 'the kill zone' and that they hear gunshots every night from their house down the block. i knew i was in a bad neighborhood but it looks like this one's a winner! lets look at the pictures.

these are from the digital, i havent been able to get the film developed yet.
i've got to sell some more cups o' lemonade before i can proceed.

its not what you think! i swear!

sggerino1@aol.com — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:36:27 GMT

this is an amazing place. and my longest post! go on... walk through!

since my last visit the place has been closed off completely. they even put up no tresspassing signs! silly people, with their barb-free fences. what were they thinking?

since i've been gone...

sggerino1@aol.com — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:30:37 GMT

damn typical! lost my internet signal for a few weeks but im back now. tho that could change any minute.

these little ditties are of a car shop across the street from a friends house. there used to be animal heads mounted on the walls... would've made for great pictures, but of course the gutter-punks stole them all. no, kids, no!

im right on top of that, rose

sggerino1@aol.com — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 06:13:39 GMT

a former women's hospital lies vacant on jackson avenue for over a decade.

enter the premises.

but it looks like this is as far as i can go.

tonight i spoke to an older fella who said he could get me inside. he's done construction work for it and believes his connection is reliable, but i'm definitely wary of being alone in there with him. he was too eager to 'show me places.'

i think ive figured this out for myself.

couldn't rip me off of them...

sggerino1@aol.com — Thu, 22 May 2008 07:19:27 GMT

do i go anywhere else?

inside the smokestacks.

back at school.

ETA: July 2008
Upon returning to the school in these photos I discovered that it was in the process of being torn down. About half of the complex stood, but still the remaining buildings had been gutted. Nothing was left, not that I could see. A fence had been posted surrounding the area and beyond, coming out at least 500 feet from where I stood.
I do not yet know what the development plans are.

find something new!

sggerino1@aol.com — Fri, 16 May 2008 05:43:40 GMT

no, god damn it! i wont!

a school, empty since katrina.
