1970s Hotel Room

179/365
Today I went to an abandoned house near me by myself. They have been planning on tearing the house down for a long time now, so there's always big trucks parked in the driveway. I decided that the trucks were to keep people away, and nobody was actually in the house, and luckily I was right. I was still really paranoid about getting caught and flinched at any sound I heard. It was nice though, I want to go back again before it's torn down.

    Yeah, going by yourself is always a little nerve-wracking.... I have freaked myself out on more than one occasion. haha

    ha! I like the title :) It really does have the feel of a 70's photo with the wood panels, the t.v., your outfit, and the color tones. I love the concept and what a great location. The american flag with its bright colors was a nice add. Seem to be a lot of abandoned buildings around where you live....luckeeee. You definitely have to go back before they tear it down.

    what an amazing shot, love all the props and the colours. I hate to see old things being torn down, it makes me so angry especially because I don't really have any abandoned buildings around where I am so it makes it hard to find good inside locations. great shot though <3

    I feel like this could be a photo they used for advertising back in the 1930s or 40s or something like that - there's something about this that feels very vintage, but at the same time, timeless and classic.

    so vintage-like as people have mentioned. I like the composition as well

    I looked at this image several times but I interpreted the TV as a computer monitor instead of a TV! OOPS! I'm glad that I finally figured out that it was a TV instead. :) Great image!
