Abandoned BG Graphics Sign Company, Meriden CT

For years and years I’ve driven by this abandoned BG Graphics building on the Berlin Turnpike in Meriden CT. I finally took the time to photograph it. When I see a building that has become completely engulfed by the surrounding environment I’m always intrigued. In front of the building was, at one time, a paved parking lot. However, nature has taken that over as well. I’m sure this company was thriving back in the day and, for whatever reason, it’s just a memory. Although I find abandoned building photography interesting that’s not to say that I’m not without empathy for the people and circumstances that led to this. I wish the owners all the best.

Photographed with a Sony A7R5, 61mp mirrorless camera in APS-C mode (26mp). Lens was a Sony Zeiss 24mm f1.8 (36mm actual).
