I'd argue they can be if they seem a bit more surreal or dream-like, one of the more popular liminal space images that I know of is a landscape but I also understand the argument against it.
Uhhhhhhhhhh what? Lol
Indeed
I'm in complete agreement, I honestly really like the look of industrial buildings, urban decay, etc. I do a lot of nature and landscape photography but what got me started in the first place was Liminal Space and abandoned or worn down buildings. Just kind of reminds me of driving around the more run down parts of the city with my dad when I was younger. I have a picture I'm particularly fond of that I need to dig around for, of some vines and red leaves growing down over the open door of an abandoned garage that I need to upload.
Man I love that song, their first album doesn't really get enough love compared to Good News or Lonesome Crowded West
My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy for liking brutalist architecture and long stretches of open highway, but I can't help it, the concrete look and utilitarian designs just scratch an itch in my brain lol
They did indeed have a windowed elevator so I had to stay on the side close to the balconies, I'm actually really afraid of heights myself, if I look down from too high at close enough of an angle I get really bad vertigo, I have since I was a little kid when my grandpa took me to the roof of an animal feed plant he managed and I looked over the edge with him (I am very very midwestern), honestly, focusing on the viewfinder or screen of a camera really helps with it, sorta turns the depths in a "2D" field that I can deal with much easier, part of why I love photography as an art form.
No problem! Thanks I appreciate it!
I think it may have been a breastfeeding area, it was in the family bathroom of a mall that's slated for demo in the next few months
It's in the back of the arcade at a pizza place I used to have my birthday parties at as a kid, can confirm there were lol
I've had a few people say it looks like a render before and I totally agree. It is touched up in lightroom a bit but not much, just straightened a little as it was slightly off center before and it drove me insane to look at lol I had to smooth a little bit of image noise out too since it was such a high ISO photo as they had all the lights down low late at night. Other than that it's pretty untouched, I don't like to edit photos too much when going for a liminal shot.
That's entirely fair! The stop sign and street definitely adds to the liminality in that one.
