Long Live the King: Part II

(Continued from Part I) This is the most heavily explored remaining building at this old psych hospital. When I say heavily explored, I mean they may as well charge an entry fee. The town would make more money doing that than writing tickets.

Silo City

There’s a cool trend happening right now where cities are re-purposing defunct industrial spaces in ways that keep the history and charm, without the waste. They’re being used for arts, food, and music events, weddings, historical and photography tours, and

(Click for Part II) Well, it was not my intention to divide this set into two posts. But right now, free time is kind of a foreign concept. In its prime, this psychiatric center was home to over 100 buildings

The Land of Ice and Snow

Last fall, I was trading stories with a photographer I met in another abandoned asylum. With two state schools under my belt, he suggested a third. “I’m done for the year,” I told him. “Maybe I’ll go in the spring.” He said “If you

The Zoo, The FLX, and a Super Tele

More Island of Misfit Photographs! I meant to post this yesterday, but I was A.) busy and B.) my computer died. Fun times. ANYWAYS, I spent a large portion of my early winter working on some lens reviews. One of these

The Adirondacks; a Day Trip

The Little Ghost Town

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
