Forgotten Places The Haygate Estate

If you don't know what this is first I would suggest a Google search. It is basically a massive council estate in south London that has been falling apart. The tenets were relocated (though some didn't want to leave) and it is being knocked down slowly.

You may recognize it as it has appeared in numerous films and TV shows as a typical urban estate setting. Access to the buildings have been welded shut as well as some of the access to the estate itself, but of course there are still ways to enter. I have been interested with the Haygate for years as I went to university in the area.

As you can imagine myself and others from time to time went exploring to photograph the urban decay and write essay on how tragic it is. And since leaving the area I hadn't really been back until yesterday. I was very surprised to see it had changed quite a bit since my previous visits and so much has over grown and other bits have fallen apart. I am a huge fan of fallout, wasteland metro, stalker, DMZ, walking dead and this was the closest Ive felt to wandering around some post apocalyptic wasteland.

There normally aren't any people although I did run into two people filming and had to dodge a security guard, Allthough I have to say this just added to the atmosphere. I reignited my passion for exploring forgotten place and photographing them. Hopefully with time I may continue exploring some of these places and showing them to you.

VFX/Animation Industry to protest the Oscars

Life of Pi (Fox) and Snow White and the Huntsman (Universal) together grossed almost a billion dollars worldwide. Rhythm & Hues Studios, the company that brought Richard Parker to life and created the bulk of the visual effects for these two Oscar nominated films, has just declared bankruptcy. Many of the artists who worked nights and weekends to create those effects are out of work and unpaid for weeks of work (including nights and weekends) on new tent-pole films for the same studios, Fox and Universal. It’s time for change!

    The disrespectful behavior exhibited by Samuel L. Jackson during the award’s introduction and the trivializing “Jaws” cut off just as Westenhofer addressed Rhythm and Hues’ bankruptcy deserve more coverage than Jennifer Lawrence hitting the stairs just before her speech.  These people are artists, not drones, creating visual masterpieces with hours of patience and perseverance.  If you are an artist, of any measure, this should concern you.  The company responsible for making you have feelings for a ship-wrecked predator, Rhythm and Hues, has declared chapter 11 bankruptcy.  These studios are underpaid and under-appreciated.  Spread the news, call out the Academy on its tactless dismissal of the hundreds of visual artists struggling to stay afloat.
