>>3053929Right across my street was a moderately sized military complex with barracks and some buildings containing kitchens, bathrooms and the likes. As a kid I went there. Then, later, it would become the place where I took my first photos. It was some kind of man-made and overgrown desert right in town. I felt like an alien visitor there. I knew the place but there was always danger connected to it. It was not uncommon to run into groups of people trying to beat you up or simply to walk into "natural" hazards like glass shards, nails or collapsing floors.
