This old asbestos plant, long abandoned, is in Warsaw, IN. It formed the subject of an all day shoot on a below-freezing day in 1992 with Kevin Carter, who was shooting with a view camera while I shot with a Mamiya RZ-67. I received permission to shoot it before the demolition the next day. The color shots you see here were all shot 17 years later in 2009 with a Leica P/S (sans tripod).

retake > A backless chair. I didn't have a tripod when shooting this, so I set the camera on a brick. It made for a nice upward angle.
retake > The light is very interesting on this bench. There was a circular whole in the floor above, which let the light stream down in a beam.
retake > A 1,000 lb freight elevator. The faded paint colors against the rusted hardware was striking.
retake > Ancient cart against modern graffiti.
retake > The angles and light patterns seemed congruent. And it wasn't until several months later that I noticed the OTHER door open, just above the main one.
retake > This exhaust intake captured the heat and smoke from an industrial process below.
retake > First your eye is drawn to the "ON STRIKE" written in chalk on the steel pillar...then to the upside-down "DANGER" on plastic, near the window. The lockers standing open reinforce the work stoppage.
retake > I can't explain what I like about this picture. Not because I don't, but I just can't explain it.
retake > "KEEP OUT"--labeled on a door wide open--is a bit incongruous.
