Death of the White Plague

Yet again, these aren’t exactly new photos. This was my first explore of the summer, a few months back on my second visit to this incredible place. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. There isn’t much

Gone Camping

I had a bad weekend. I lost a pet on Friday night: My 21-year-old leopard gecko, Sandy. I’ve had Sandy since she was a hatchling and I was a third grader. I’ve had to say goodbye to lots of pets over my

Where You're Madder Than I Am: Part II

I know. A month. Summer is just crazy. I’m putting in a lot of 70 hour work weeks these days. First off: I’m moving my professional wedding work off of this blog, and will be posting it solely on my website

Where You're Madder Than I Am: Part I

Hey. Remember me? I’m Amanda. I used to run this blog regularly before I fell off the face of the planet. I’ve had my plate full the past few months. I’ll spare you the million and one things I’ve had

Ain't Seen the Sunshine Since I Don't Know When

Sometimes a location’s reputation precedes it. This is a perfect example. I had zero intention of visiting this place. But, I ended up here. And maybe it was good for me that I did. We were exploring around the boroughs and their outskirts, coming up on

Sleepy Bats State Hospital: Part II

(Click for Part 1) Hello again. Welcome to the children’s ward. Where the other buildings are falling into ruin from mainly natural causes, this building’s damage is largely people. Taggers, vandals, scrappers, arsonists… It’s in rough shape. I actually hate finding

Last Stand State Hospital: Part III

(Continued from Part I and Part II) The final set from here picks up in a building that seemed to have larger patient rooms, atypical of the whole shoebox-with-barred-windows. Parts of the layout in here confused me a bit. I tried to

Last Stand State Hospital

(Click for Part II and Part III) Apologies in advance for any blatant typos or spacey wording in this post. I’m on day three of being horribly sick with no sleep. Fun. I also appear to be trying to break a record for the number
