A Dark Arts October - Day 1

Well here we are, the first of October! Fascination with Fear has taken an almost year-long hiatus, for reasons previously explained.  But I couldn't let the month go by without celebrating the season in one way or another, and this year I am pleased to be doing a month-long feature of one of my favorite photographers, Derek McEntire.  He and I share a common interest in abandoned places, the melancholy mood they project, so I am letting you all in on the talent I'm already fascinated with.  See his bio to follow, and yes - he does sell his work!  

Happy October and all the best to you and yours in this, the best month of the year!!  Enjoy!

"DEVIL'S ALTAR"

DESTINATION - HELL HOUSE ALTAR
LOCATION - ELLIOTT CITY, MARYLAND
PHOTOGRAPHER - DEREK MCENTIRE 

*A Dark Arts October is a month-long celebration of the work of 25 year old Derek McEntire, a photographer from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  His eye for the melancholy and macabre in abandoned locations makes for a perfect feature for FASCINATION WITH FEAR for this, the spookiest time of the year. 

Bio in his own words:   "I fell into photography by accident when visiting Eastern State Penitentiary.  After visiting,  I entered a picture I took in a photography competition and got first place... from that point on I fell in love with the art of photography.   My all time favorite artist is Andy Warhol & favorite musicians include  Johnathan Davis of the band Korn, Billy Corgan from the band The Smashing Pumpkins, and Robert Smith from The Cure. In my spare time I enjoy music and going to concerts, traveling and drinking coffee/teas.  My current project includes my 2018 Destination Abandoned Photography Calendar.  It will be up for purchase no later than December 2017."
