This week I photographed an abandoned home in Caledonia, Wisconsin. It was built in the mid 1920s and left abandoned since the late 1970’s.

Along H26
Garage of an abandoned property along H26 in Wisconsin. There is a stretch of H26 where the state now owns a number of decent homes that appear recently lived in.

Beside You In Time
I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it’s you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through

Photo taken outside an abandoned home in Koshkonong, Wisconsin. Clocks are a favorite subject to shoot among Urban Explorers. They dictate much of our day as an authoritative supervisor would. Even though the clock face is now frozen the world around it nature does not submit to the clock’s authority. Nature ignores the the clock entirely and undermines its authority. Entropy is nature’s subversion to mankind’s hubris.

The Day Kennedy Was Shot
Taken today in an abandoned house in Koshkonong, Wisconsin.
A generation before I was born America survived a national tragedy. President Kennedy was killed by an American, one of our own, trained by the very government he later sought to throw into chaos. A single date, November 22, 1963, shattered the American Dream. Civil unrest, chaos, and war with no meaning followed.
My generation has not learned history’s lesson. CIA trained Osama bin Laden remains uncaptured for his 9/11 crimes. We are still mired in not one, but two wars with uncertain futures that have sent our country into a downward spiral. One of those wars was prefaced entirely on a series of compounding lies. Comedian George Carlin once said that you would have to be asleep to believe in the American Dream. The tragedy is that he was probably right.
