Lace and Labyrinths

The story goes that mid-shift on a day in 2002, the vice president of this massive industrial giant announced the plant was closing, effective immediately. After more than 100 years in production, this long-standing manufacturer of lace — curtains, napkins, tablecloths,

The House in the Marsh

A very short series today. This was incredibly impromptu. I was on my way home from an amazing wedding, and I saw this decrepit house rotting in a swamp. I dunno man, when the mood strikes, it strikes. Finding a very convenient

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

Desolo Vol. I — Portfolio Book

I finally, finally, finally had my 2014 portfolio made into a book. It’s 13×11, hardcover, 200 pages. Cost a pretty penny, but I’m happy to have it. The timing is fitting, since I started this project just shy of one year

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 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 Cement Skeleton

Late last summer, I was driving to meet a client when I happened to look out the window and see the towering silos of an abandoned factory. Nothing fancy. I came home, looked up the location on a map, told Matt

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.
