Wreck Center
I have a sort of “If I’m in the neighborhood” list of old buildings I want to shoot. For like two years, this has been an “If I’m in the neighborhood” building. Which is stupid, because I’m in the neighborhood a lot. I’ve

In My Restless Dreams
I’m in a bit of a sour mood these days, so this is just a short set from a few weeks back. On Wednesday we said goodbye to our oldest dog, Casey. He was family for 15 years, the longest one

The Patron Saint
This was my first time touching a camera in about five months. That’s the longest I’ve ever gone without shooting. I’m not gonna bother with side stories, but I really just needed a break. I work several jobs. I have other

The Old Haunt
My last shoot of 2016. I had…pretty low expectations going in here. I wasn’t even sure I’d go in. This century-plus-year-old building has been vacant for close to four decades, and that has taken a huge toll. The place is completely empty. There are

Over Troubled Water
This decades-vacant power plant was one of my last shoots of the year. I don’t know much history of the building, but the town it sits in was once a hotbed of industry, now largely desolate and abandoned. I think it’s obvious by

His Hall the Azure Dome
In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve shot. The exterior of this place is so incredibly stunning that you can’t help feel your heart break for the wasted potential as it sits and rots past

Where the Light Gets In
I’ve learned a whole lot in my humble few years shooting abandonment. About photography…and also about life in general. This hobby has given me two important takeaways that I carry with me every day: That there is always beauty to be found in

And I Must Go
Confession: I hate fall. When people hear this, they gasp and look at me as if I’ve mortally offended them. Where I’m from, everyone goes nuts for this damned season. Scarves! Pumpkin spice! Cool weather! You can take it. I’ll leave

Views From a Window
A lot of exploring comes down to knowing your limits, trusting your instinct, and not being stupid. Those three things led me to realize, looking at someone else’s shots of this old carriage house from a few months ago, that I

Train in Vain
I’m annoying to road trip with. I crank the heat way too high. I pack a ton of food and throw the trash in the back seat. I need a bathroom stop every other hour because I drink too much caffeine. For
