old workplaces

Got a call from a magazine to photograph an old work place - a place I had not been back to since the mid-nineties. A work place where there was creativity, yet surrounded by mis-behavior and - bad behavior encouraged. A once in-a-lifetime job, not easily forgotten.

My editor asked me to find things that might today, still be familiar.  At first glance everything was - but now, most surfaces were covered in dust & decay - and the characters were gone - the daily chaos gone.  And surprisingly, the most notable, the quiet and the stillness. Those missed sounds of the 'blinging' and competitive banging of the 'pin-ball' machines, now all pushed aside and forgotten - and now, those long-gone sounds, gone.
