#12: A void house awaiting its demolition. Two artists painted it totally black – from the base up to the roof. I found the house standing on the street corner like a doomed man amidst a petit bourgeois neighbourhood.
Stuttgart, Germany.
Taken with a lensbaby 3G.

Did you tiltshift this? It's wicked! So kinetic I feel like I'm falling over when I look at it. I love how you described it 'a doomed man' - absolutely. Wow, what a thing to see....

Thanks!!! Yes, it was one of my first daring attempts with that low tech device commonly referred to as lensbaby. ; )
It's great to know that you feel what I felt when I drove past the house. It looked so bizarre, especially in that trivial context... I simply couldn't resist to return and take a couple of photos. -

It's clever and briliant, a briliant disguise, 'you can't see me' It's also like the witches house on the corner... we have them on every street..I'm joking we only have leprechauns the withces moved down to West Cork where there's less pollution
