Scranton Lace in B&W | Karen Johnson
I was going through some of my images from Scranton Lace in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is probably my favorite building I have photographed with the Abandoned America Group. It is a massive 600,000 square foot building full of great architectural details and objects from when it was the top lace producer in the world. I decided to work with these images in black & white versus color. They were all taken with my wonderful Fuji X-Pro 1 and what I love about the Fuji camera is the ability to see through the viewfinder in black & white. It is really easy for me to compose when I am looking at a black & white image. I can really see the light and shadows which I am always working with when I photograph an abandoned building. The image above is looking from one vast factory room to another. I loved the doors and the play of light that was going on in the room beyond…..
