It is truly a strange thing when a steam pipe bursts under an abandoned building in the dead of winter, but that’s exactly what happened under the Clinic Building at Greystone Park State Hospital in 2007, a month before the building was unceremoniously knocked down.  The steam congregated near the ceiling of the abandoned asylum infirmary, condensing on the pipes and dripping down in regular patterns - and creating these ice stalagmites.  An hour after taking this photograph, demolition workers came into the building and chased us through the tunnels; we had to hide in an attic in 0 degree weather for hours while cops searched for us.  The next time I drove out there, there was no trace that a building had ever stood in this spot.

scent of the day: chinese calligraphy (d'annam)

lacquered wood, a bold chemical sharpness that subsides slowly, coffee present throughout. a teachers' break room or a uni library, sunlit dust on windowpanes, printer paper, spreadsheets, pen ink; i like some facets of it, especially in the drydown when i get a hint of floral creaminess, but the sharp synthetic opening is a bit much.

i might have preferred a more traditional take on the concept of chinese inks, more elevated woodiness and camphor and charcoal sticks. instead, this feels liminal somehow; maybe the worn-in coffee note is what's putting me in mind of airports, malls, school halls, and old office buildings. i can almost smell cigarettes, it feels like the natural progression of the environment created here, which is modern but distinctly pre-indoors smoking ban.

i don't hate it, but it might be an acquired taste. we'll see how i end up feeling about it upon re-wearing it.
