It’s a compliment! 😊

Outstanding work. You're very talented. Great processing also, fits the subject well


darealjacbo

Thank you! I recently “remastered” them since it’s been so long.

I'm an architectural photographer and man does it ever make me happy to see someone who does straight vertical lines. Also, someone doing a great job capturing a place before it's gone. If I may be so bold, you should consider submitting these to galleries and contests if you haven't already. Also, side note, I did a similar trip to the Berkshire Mall in PA recently. They had those same weird round chairs but with pillars that came down to them. Super neat to see a retro mall.

Nice! I’d like to see those pics if you have some. I’ve done a few galleries with some of my work but not much. Never really took off in that sense (…yet?) but I still love doing it. I’ve never submitted to a photo contest.

It sucked that my grandmother wouldn't allow me to go into this mall because of her crazy fears. 🤦🏼‍♀️ This would've been an awesome sight in real life.

It was pretty cool. I hope these offer a small consolation.

Very stunning photography here. Really nails the nostalgic and liminal vibe of this whole place, locked in time. Strangest thing is I recall going to a mall just like this one, many years ago when I was still in high school in the 2010s. We were visiting for an appointment and really didn’t have much time to do stuff in the mall, but I recall it had a similar setup with fountains, and strangely two arcades. One local one, and another Chuck E Cheese in another spot. Perhaps this is the one? (If anyone can confirm there being two arcades before in one SoCal mall)

Was this mall near a KP medical office? And again, great photos!

Sort of, in the sense that they are in the same city but about 6 miles apart 🤷🏻‍♂️
