The Shame of the Nation
In 1968, a CBS anchor worked tirelessly on a segment exposing the horrific conditions of this state school. It is a devastating piece of journalism from a time when it was easier to turn a blind eye to the state’s answer for housing people

The Little Ghost Town
I’d also like to invite you to check out my new fine art website, Desolo. This is where I’d be sharing my abandonment portfolio, along with continuing to use my Vsco grid.

Eastern State Penitentiary
A necessary pilgrimage for those of us in the Northeast with a penchant for old, historic buildings. Eastern State Penitentiary was the first of its kind. Built in 1829, this architectural marvel was designed as an alternative to the prison systems

The Old Farmhouse
Here’s a little house right down the street from where I grew up. I’ve seen inhabitants come and go throughout the years, no one ever staying long. For the past decade, it’s sat vacant in the middle of a cornfield,

The Village of Secrets
THE DORMITORIES This place feels otherworldly, very still and dreary and quiet except for the wildlife. There were deer everywhere. Only a fraction of the original institution is left, but I still didn’t have time to see it all in one day. Everything looked

Asylum for the Insane
