Take a trip out to your neck of the woods one day, and you might be surprised by all the hidden gems you may find there. Seriously, none of us ever knew about this spot in Hamden, CT for the first shoot until our good friend and photographer, Valmar Torre Bruno, took us along into the back of an undeveloped site, which looked to be a start of an upscale restaurant or heaven on earth. Why they never finished it?
Our guess is the amount of money it took to probably finish it based on the Classic Greek inspired statues they have haphazardly lying about in crates and the amazing doorway reminiscent to Spanish wrought iron gates. Unfortunately, we couldn't actually go inside, but the windows through the gate and shards of broken tile was our teaser to what could've been one of the most beautiful buildings we've seen around our area in a long time.
Ah, and speaking of 'teasers'...
