Fashion decay

I found the abandoned (1998) Orlando Power Station in Soweto many years ago, but was never able explore it as it was heavily gaurded day and night.

I even attempted going there on Christmas day but the gaurds surprised me and as usual told me to leave.

After sometime, and help from a secret government service (lol) I managed to get a permit from the building owner to shoot there. Even the bungee operator from Orlando Towers could not believe I managed to get permission. 

The gaurds though soon warmed up to me and gave me a very informative guide around the place and its numerous floors.

The one gaurd spoke of a graffiti artist who fell into metal polls protruding from the ground whilst he was there one night, and got seriously hurt.  

I invited three models, of which one chickened out last minute. With my luck, I chose the coldest day (literally) in 2011 and the nearby cooling pond only made matters worse, nevermind the wind-chill-factor.

I'm sure goosebumps can be seen in most of these pics. Sam later mentioned that it took her several hours of sitting in front of the heater to just get warm again, talk about chilled to the bone.
