The furniture is what a friend used to call Early Married Horrible.
Very nice series of photographs you have going here.

Klaus, this is all from the same place...Pleasure Beach in CT. Click back a couple images and I give a bit of history.

Nice series Dave. There's something very natural about this one. The tilted lamp, the reflections, an old photograph.. until your eye catches the broken glass.

Hey, how'd you find this? That's where I lived until I was 10.

Wow, it really feels as if someone could come home any second. Great reportage.

Dated

The interiors of most of the houses were somewhat dated and had many relics from the 70's in them. This house contained a number of old 8 tracks.


It was a strange feeling exploring people's homes, even if some of them were just summer cottages. Being of a libertarian mindset, I was not totally comfortable with it...and I am sure that the former residents are not comfortable with it either. We ran into a number of people walking around who were clearly former residents, and none of them seemed too thrilled to see people with pounds of photography equipment strapped to their backs. There were numerous signs indicating that the place was under video surveilance...some even just suggesting that residents had set up webcams themselves. The signs, however, were old. Unfortunately there is little recourse for the former property owners at this point.
