Creepy, old and abandoned houses are any homeowner's nightmare. They lower the value of people's property, wild animals or wandering gypsies can take up residence, and typically they are just an eye sore. However, they are wonderful subjects for photography. This place was so broken down, windows gone, everything just fallen apart - it was pretty damn amazing. This shot was taken from an open window on the side of the house peeking through the darkest room to the window on the other side. I never really noticed there was something odd about this pic. If you look on the top left side, there appears to be something almost standing there. Probably just part of the ceiling caving in, but makes you wonder if it was the boogey man, or possibly some axe wielding maniac hoping I would come inside to get some pictures. I don't think you could have paid me enough to step foot in that house. It took some bravery to get that close to the window in the first place - and a lie to the neighbor that I was an art student taking pictures for a university photography magazine so he wouldn't call the police. I'm going to go with my friend Joe's idea on this - and use this as my "Name this Picture" blog entry. Winner gets a high five, and a print of one of the pictures I have posted on the site so far :) Email me your ideas, or post them here on the blog.

This is great! I love everything about this one. The story and the creepy insight. I think this is obvious and the title should be "The Other Side". Also I know its an excellent Idea to give away a free print but since I kinda helped with the idea if im the winner of this photo, Just being able to name it is an honor and all the reward i would require! Your awesome Petra. Keep em coming!
