A black and white photo of a brick‑framed roadside sign reading “Chavis Parker Funeral Home” with a changeable‑letter panel below stating “Mr Rodney Whitted.” The sign sits on a grassy lawn by a driveway; behind it are bare winter trees, a “Dead End” street sign, power lines overhead, and part of a house’s exterior wall

A black and white photo of the Burroughs Wellcome building in Research Triangle Park. Now demolished, it is an angular concrete structure with large windows spanning its length. The structure leans sharply to the left, creating a dramatic diagonal perspective. Leafless tree branches in the foreground cast shadows on the building, enhancing the stark, eerie atmosphere. The scene appears to be taken during winter or early spring, with a cold and quiet mood

A black and white photo of a fogged-up glass surface, covered in condensation and smudged handprints. A fluorescent ceiling light and an electrical outlet are faintly reflected in the glass, giving the scene an eerie, moody atmosphere

A photo of a two-story, boarded-up white building at dusk, situated at a road intersection. The windows on the ground floor are covered with weathered plywood, and the upper windows are bare but appear aged. A narrow metal staircase leads to a side entrance on the second floor. Power lines cross the sky, which is overcast with dark blue storm clouds. The scene is dimly lit, with a faint red light leak or lens flare in the bottom right corner.

A photo of an old ice vending machine at night, illuminated by a harsh overhead fluorescent light. The machine is labeled "Holiday Ice" with large faded red letters spelling "ICE" on its side, with some small Sharpie graffiti in the top corner. It's placed against a white brick wall under a canopy, with a chain-link fence and dark greenery in the background. A vine hangs down through a gap in the ceiling. The scene feels quiet and eerie, with wet pavement in the foreground reflecting some of the light

A photo of a long, corrugated metal warehouse building at dusk, with dramatic pink and purple storm clouds filling the sky above. Power lines stretch across the top of the frame, and a satellite dish is mounted on the corner of the building. The building's siding reflects the colors of the sunset, casting soft purples and warm pinks on its surface. The street in the foreground is wet and slightly reflective.

A photo of a dimly lit building exterior at night, featuring a row of large windows with vertical blinds. The blinds are mostly closed, but some are slightly parted, revealing glimpses of the interior. The scene is illuminated by a mix of warm and cool lighting, casting soft shadows on the ground

A photo of a large, muted blue industrial building with three evenly spaced, dark windows. The sky above is overcast, casting a dim, moody light. A small object, possibly a sticker or debris, is visible in the middle window. The empty street in the foreground adds to the stillness of the scene.

A photo of a black and white cat lying on a hardwood floor, partially in a sunlit rectangle. Its face and front paws are in the light, while the rest is in shadow. A bookshelf with records and CDs is in the background.

A black and white photograph of a small, unfinished or abandoned structure on a trailer, enclosed by a chain-link fence with barbed wire. The structure has rough, unpainted walls with two open rectangular windows and a partially torn sign that reads "HAVEN." The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and scattered debris, including plastic buckets and a discarded can near the curb. In the background, large, billowy clouds fill the sky above the rural or semi-industrial landscape.

Photograph of a dimly lit, empty room with a ceiling fan and a tangled black wire dangling from a patched section of the wall. The exposed area, with mismatched paint and screw holes, hints at something once mounted there. Multiple electrical outlets line the lower wall, while the scuffed carpet floor and smudged window reflection add a sense of neglect or unfinished change

Photograph of a cluster of orange and white construction barrels lining a dark road at night, their reflective surfaces glowing under artificial light. In the background, a red "Yield" sign and a striped "Road Closed" barrier stand out against the black void. The composition creates a surreal, almost theatrical atmosphere, with the illuminated barrels appearing to float in the darkness

A photo of a powerful jet of water forcefully striking a dark, charred wooden surface. The water sprays outward in a burst, creating a misty, ethereal effect as it collides with the structure. The surrounding ground is covered in wet, burnt debris, with scattered blackened branches suggesting recent fire damage. The composition emphasizes movement, with the rushing water contrasting against the static, heavily textured wood.

A photo of wild plants and red sumac leaves at night, with a soft, dreamlike blur from the lens falling off during the shot. A purple haze partially veils the foreground, while warm light highlights the textures of goldenrod and branches against the dark background
