All of the photographs on Forlorn Photography were taken by The Comtesse DeSpair during her many excursions to desolate places with camera\u00a0in hand.\u00a0 Her weapons of choice are her Holga, Kodak Tri-X film, and withering sarcasm.<\/p>\n
Sullen, withdrawn, ill, and prone to melancholia,\u00a0The Comtesse\u00a0loves inclement weather and despises sunny days.\u00a0She thinks everything looks better with snow covering it.\u00a0She also thinks most things look better in black and white.<\/p>\n
The Comtesse has a serious problem with “progress”.\u00a0She thinks all new buildings should be torn down and replaced with old ones.\u00a0She would\u00a0like to take a ball and chain to demolition companies.\u00a0She thinks most modern architects should be drawn and quartered.\u00a0She blames lawyers and money-hungry developers for the destruction of beauty in this world, and she would like to start a huge bonfire using them as fuel.<\/p>\n
Whenever something from the past is deemed obsolete and ceases production,\u00a0The Comtesse\u00a0holds a funeral in its memory and curses the uncharismatic minions who brought on its demise. The decline of film production, as pictures are replaced by pixels, causes\u00a0her no end of dismay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Comtesse\u00a0thinks this world should be ashamed of itself.<\/p>\n
