Summer Shoot – The Abandoned Pizza Hut

Throughout Summer, I have been taking a few images along the way. Whilst working on an ongoing project (that’s a blog post for another time), I decided to go out to take a few more images for another project.

Me and my friend Courtney decided we would go to an abandoned building, which we think was a Pizza Hut. Our original plan was to get into the building through the broken windows and explore the wreckage and what was left behind. Unfortunately, we spotted a ‘No Trespassing’ sign, and didn’t think we should risk it.

The only thing we could do is stand at the rusty, old, locked gate and take images of the objects which were just slung onto the ground. I thought it was very interesting that some of the objects that were thrown were personal, for example, shoes and headphones.

The objects made me wonder what their story was. Why were they there, and who were they owned by before? I thought it would be interesting to make up stories behind the objects, or to create identities around them.
