This Old House
(looks scarier with a dark lightbox around it. Click image to scare yourself)
A little more “farmex” straight from my recent stormchasing trip to the midwest. This image was taken a bit south and west of Wichita, Kansas.
I dig creepy places and shooting them, but unless I got a buddy with me, I’m not sure I could go much closer than this. Wind was blowing, creaking sounds were coming from the house and the surrounding trees…it was definitely giving me goosebumps.
I passed so many places like this. Old, abandoned farms, silos, houses, sheds…it was amazing. Highly recommend Kansas if you are looking for this kind of subject.

Somehow I do not think Bob Vila is going to come to the rescue of this place. Very cool find in the middle of nowhere!
You stole a line I decided not to use in the blog post 🙂
Yeah, man, I could have driven around forever looking for this stuff….
Thanks!
I like the processing for the dark look Mike.
Looks like the house is going to come alive! Well executed!
I love the title farmex. There are a lot of those around here that I’ve been wanting to shoot. Nice shot!
Love the desaturated processing on this one. Nice capture bud.
Nice shot Mike – love the vintage look you put to this!
The top window looks like it has some paranormal activity going on inside. Creepy capture!
Love the processing. Good call on not going in… It is pretty creepy… I’d go into an abandoned dog run, but not that house 😉
If the tree on the right side wasn’t there, this house would totally look like a scary face. Boo!
Ha! Great processing! That is one creepy looking home. I think it looks even more foreboding because of that really deep shadow by the front door.
Dude, this is one scared Toad! I love this subject, and what a wonderful job of capturing her for us all to enjoy! I did a whole series of an abandoned farmhouse in Alberta too, before I was really any good at all this… didn’t really like the results nearly as much as yours here! LOVE this shot! Now I need a little shot of Swamp Juice or somethin’ to settle the nerves….
Great example of ‘farmex’. Definitely looks creepier with the black background. Many years ago I lived in Wichita (for one year), wasn’t into photography at the time. Now I’d like to go back and check out some “farmex’, but it’s a bit of a drive.
It looks like a house from that movie Jeepers Creepers. Love the vintage feel on this one mike!
Lovely photo! The roof-line reminded me instantly of Disney’s “The Little House” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y881yjtFluQ
This is about as close as I would get as well!
just wow! That house has a thousand stories to tell and you captured that. Nice.
P.S. Love the blog design too.
Very cool shot Mike! I’m also looking forward to seeing the interior urbex shots. You did go inside didin’t you? 🙂
I’m not sure I could resist going in alone or not, great building just asking to be explored. Love the shot and processing
How did I miss this? Incredible work dude, you’ve nailed the vintage look for sure
