Corbie Fieldwalker is a videographer from Vancouver. On a stroll in the prestigious west side neighbourhood of Point Grey, he came across a large, abandoned house.
In the red-hot world of Vancouver's real estate market -- where housing has been named residents' top worry -- Fieldwalker found the empty, crumbling home bizarre. It seemed worthwhile to shoot some video.
Fieldwalker has so far edited three videos of abandoned properties for a series called "Point Grey." The neighbourhood is near Spanish Banks and the University of British Columbia.
He captured damage to windows and sinks, a forgotten pool, ivy creeping into homes, and works by graffiti artists that have made the former living spaces their canvas. Fieldwalker often shoots architecture, but not like this.
The featured video above is of a $19.8-million property on Drummond Drive. Another video features a $25.8 million property on Belmont Avenue, and another features a home designed in the mid-1970s built around an indoor pool.
