Wall Still Standing | Interior surface layering Tactile vestige boundaries Diverse environmental periods |

his is a shot of an interior section of wall that is left from an old store in Pleasant Hill. The doors are gone, the windows are broken-out, the roof is gone, and debris is strewn all around. With each rain more of the plaster and paint sloughs from the surface. All things considered a scene of desolation, but oddly interesting. It is sort of like looking at the geological record of the history of an ancient lost civilization, revealed layer by layer.
"Each individual, at one moment or more in his lifetime has perhaps wondered if a complete escape from the society that had fostered him might not be an answer to his problem. Few of us have the courage for such a step. There is the uncertainty that comes with setting out, all alone, on an unknown adventure. Worse, there is, in most of us, a fear of failure. Still worse is the fear that there can be no escape. If a man lives in one place long enough, his story may be told by the things that are left behind." - Todd Walker
