Various sizes are available on request. Abandoned buildings are time capsules offering glimpses of history, people's stories, artifacts, and insights to private worlds, along with gorgeous textures, colours, shapes, and dramatic lighting. My hope is that viewers are drawn in by the image, to wonder about the story behind it, and be surprised at the colours and textures. The hallway belongs to an abandoned train station in North America. Once a busy station near a prominent manufacturing and transportation hub, the station now sits empty, decaying, as does much of the large city it served. Manufacturing moved offshore, while shipping is now predominantly by air instead of ship and train. As a result, the once vibrant and prosperous city featuring almost every style of architecture is now derelict, and this station closed. In an office space below ground, we found files dating back before the 1950s containing personal information about the men who once worked here and their family situations. I wonder how many people looked down this hallway, wondering what the future would hold. Photography has been a passion of mine since age 7 when a neighbour gave me an old Brownie pinhole camera. I continue to love the magic and beauty of the world seen through a lens. I aim to capture the atmosphere, feelings, and beauty of a place in a way that is both realistic and personal – being a true record of the place yet full of feeling and atmosphere.

Valerie was raised in Vancouver, lived many years in Toronto, and currently resides in Victoria, BC. She loves high heels and hiking boots, the culture in large cities and the spiritual connection of the natural world. Valerie is drawn to photograph urban street scenes, abandoned buildings and vehicles, and our beautiful natural world. How we balance the two dichotomies (or not) is her focus -- how can we live in a rewarding way that also respects and preserves our disappearing natural world.
