As Wikipedia puts it:
"The Barrens is a small tract of land still heavily covered in trees and plant life. Derry's landfill is located here, as is a gravel pit and several sewer pump-stations. The Barrens plays the most prominent a role in It, as the Losers adopt it as their home away from home, even building a clubhouse there."
Tonight I went out to photograph and decided to visit this area near my house. I have been there before and had always been a little creeped out walking alone through the "woods" that seemed oddly out of place. I found old junk people had dumped there, like refridgerators, school desks, mattresses, etc. I never associated it before, but tonight as I looked through my photos, I realized that this area was exactly like The Barrens in It. In the book, there is even an old fridge in the Barrens that a kid locks animals in to kill them. I'm telling you, creepy stuff.

Yea a high spook factor going on here. Like the split tone treatments.
Creepy stuff. Is this in American Fork? Or down by Monroe?
This is in American Fork. It's at the same place that I shot those dirt photos with Matty Coles.
The movie IT is the reason why clowns and random balloons scare me :) Cool pictures though!
just did some drifting through your blog and web site, your stuff is rad.

Creepy! I think I read that book right after you did, either because I borrowed it from you or saw you reading it and was interested. It freaked me out!
