[@mattdayphoto]

[@mattdayphoto]

PS - never too early for a Macho Man impression. Dig it.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

haha thanks buddy!

[@ChrisMarxen]

Man, i wish i had your stamina. Yes, i photograph mainly people but the only two i photograph regularly are my wife and son. Should be way more people. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for making it bro!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thanks, Chris! I hope you and the Family are doing well :)

[@sowie9626]

Wow love it always amazed me with your work keep it up cool Fanta bottle 👍

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Right!? I put the Fanta back in favor of a Pioneer Valley soda bottle. Ill have to add it to my IG story - its much cooler.

[@sowie9626]

Robbie Maynard Creates love it I collect electric pole glass & porcelain insulator and some town bottles like holyoke ma and some soda

[@princessrashidart]

Dude I love it, especially your Macho Man!

[@waynesimon7096]

You seem to still be enjoying that Mamiya 645 camera. Thanks for your time in producing this video. Love your out takes at the end.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thanks, Wayne! The 645 is a nice step up from my 35mm Point and Shoot

Great discussion Robbie. Your dead on, in your documentary work. Ill bet the Holyoke historical society , would be interested in your work. KB.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thanks, KB! I've been working with the town for the last year on doing something with these images.

[@jennkotb1]

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

Nice Robbie! Love the Motown music!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I do love me some Motown!

[@cynthiasdailypay]

Very impressed Robbie! Loved this video. You certainly are incredible at what you do. I appreciate you sharing what you know! Thank you.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you, Cindy!

[@MattWeddis]

Your videos keep getting better and better. Great work Robbie.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you, Matt!

[@accountkot7217]

Holyoke reminds me of one of the greatest, Mitch Epstein.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I appreciate this because I had no idea!! How cool 😎

[@gainde1137]

Didn't know him yet, but great work of Epstein!

[@Lennymcgra]

Quality bud, always a pleasure.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Much appreciated!

[@CalumetVideo]

The Motown is a excellent for your video, very fitting! Sometimes we do documentary photography and think why the same place and same things. But, looking back I notice the subtle changes.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you, buddy! I appreciate that you notice the small stuff too :)

[@Interweb76]

Great new video man!!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thanks buddy!

[@pushingfilm]

Great video man, so well made 👍

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thanks, Hashem!

[@mthis1068]

Plenty of things to take away from, Robbie. There's truth in revisiting places, still keeping an open eye for new things and giving a story enough room to breathe (something I struggle with at times). Cheers!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you, Mathias! I appreciate your takeaways. I always wonder what people think of what I have to say and I think you nailed it.

[@Interweb76]

And NEVER too early for some Macho Man!!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

OHHHH YEAAAAAH!

[@AntMcLean]

What an interesting place! Just happens to be a car in the bush.. wow epic

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

haha right? the straight jacket just adds to the weirdness

[@AntMcLean]

@@RobbieMaynardCreates not as much as the macho man cameo…

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

@@AntMcLean haha touche

[@ellen6229]

😊🙏

[@ridealongwithrandy]

Good stuff, I pretty much do the same for my website,and document the decay and the history of some abandoned site here in eastern San Diego, CA, and the desert southwest.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

That is awesome to hear! Documentation is the most rewarding work :)

[@evertking1]

Damn @imjohnwaller has the 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Yes he does!

[@corunseen]

Sometimes I try to imagine how these abandoned cars looked like when they arrived at the car dealer

[@dtphoto1]

Also Hartford

[@dtphoto1]

Dude I'm still shooting Holyoke got to meetup

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

[@mleamber]

[@larrainlsd6546]

Everything is political.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Its hard to get away from it. I hope you found some solace in this little break from reality
