Depth of Field

In addition to the scrap yard, we were given access to an abandoned rug factory in NE Philly. It was raining so hard that day, that much of the building was flooded. Small lakes and waterfalls formed throughout the structure and made some areas too difficult (for me) to investigate. Also, the mold was definitely present, as my nose and throat twitched and itched in it’s presence. There were more rottweilers, behind walls or in cages, and I felt like they could escape at any second and attack.  But I’m glad we went, and I’m glad that we got to learn a little history about the building (the factory closed it’s doors in 1978). It made me wonder about the people who had worked there, had kept their things in the lockers we saw, had punched in on the time clock… where are they now? Zoom
