Guest Yachtsman1 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 One of my Grandaughters Fedra (almost 18)came to visit us in the new apartment with her mother today. She brought with her a memory stick with a number of pictures for a college project called Urban Decay. They were taken around various sites in Ardwick & Belle Vue Manchester. After seeing them I couldn't let the opportunity of building a show around them pass. As for the sound track I chose a track from an album on Amazon called appropriately Urban Decay. Not my type of music, but I think it suits the show.Mechanics. 42.1mb, 32 slides, run time 2.44 minutes, slide size fixed, AR 5-4.On Mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/?i1e8rb5oh799eYachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Beckham Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Sorry Eric, it breaks my 40mb limit and I can't risk the cost of any more band width. What a shame, I would have loved to have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should send them a copy?Regards EricYachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 USUALLY ALL THE SMALL STORES become tattoo, body piercing and the like -- we got them big cities they try to convert to studio's for the "artsy" typesone of the big problems when they want to demo - ASBESTOS REMOVAL -- adds to cost big time - so they walk away and the taxpayer is stuck with the demo costken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Porter Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Interesting collection, Eric. Thinking about it you have to have urban decay before someone thinks of replacing it, the problem being is sometimes what replaces it is not much better.I see BB is as spiky as ever.

colin hill Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi Eric,A very interesting collection of photographs which reflect the decay we all have in our cities unfortunately.The music, probably not to all our liking does suit the show.I would love to photograph the urban decay, filth and squaller in our city, but unfortunately would fear for my life,my camera and personal possessions, a fact of life in most of our cities in my country.Your granddaughter can be congratulated on her project.Thank you for sharing.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks all. I remember when she was born two months premature & nearly didn't make it. Re BB, would'nt be the same on here without Mr Grumpy.Regards EricYachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esc Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi Eric!I like the first version better. Although the music is not my cup of tea it surely goes well with the pictures. The show could improve with some moreclose-ups. /Lennart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
