Continuing with the Foreclosure series. Although I may have to change the name, because technically these lots aren't in foreclosure (I don't think), rather the developer ran out of money or pulled the plug on the project due to the housing/real estate slump.

The first set of images were shot at an industrial/office lot in Carlsbad. I saw this lot on the way back from a meeting yesterday morning and was struck by the tractor-trailer with the billboard pasted on the side. The second set of images were again shot in Carlsbad, this time of a space that was set aside for a residential project.

Here are the first series of images from the Foreclosure project. These images were shot in and around the San Elijo Hills neighborhood.

This is the second in a series of images from my Foreclosure project (I'll post the first series tomorrow). The project deals with documenting the real estate crash in San Diego, from vacant commercial lots awaiting funding to residential subdivisions that ran out of money.

These images were shot at the "Nantucket" subdivision, which is in Leucadia. These million-dollar homes have stood like this for over two years.

UPDATE 040309: This article in the LA Times discusses this exact development:

I headed down to Balboa Park yesterday to photograph some more material for my Lawn Bowls project. I'm feeling a bit more comfortable photographing there since the members have recognized me. They're genuinely interested in the project and happy to participate, which makes it great.

Some images shot on Tuesday for the new Grygera and Sons Surfboards website. A small series of the images will make a nice addition to my new portfolio.
