Gary Indiana Exploration 08-31-08

Ok, as you guys know, I went out to the most abandoned city in America again on Saturday. Said I’d post a few photos. As always, more photos and larger versions available at my flickr stream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cityeyes
Here they are:
A shutter, busted out from either wear through time or a vandal, sits in the center [...]

Abandoned Chicago Hospital

I spent my Sunday exploring an abandoned hospital. It was amazing.
The hospital closed in 2001 due to malpractice - doctors were recommending unnecessary surgery and allowing patients to undergo operations that they didn’t need. Now, the hospital is a mildewy mess - the carpet squished beneath my feet with every step, tiles were curled up [...]

Europe - Berlin

We’re waiting in a train station, so I figured I’d write a little bit about what’s happened so far in our trip through Europe. In short - it’s been really awesome. We only had one FULL day in Berlin, but we covered a lot of ground thanks to the awesome transportation system. I feel as [...]

Abandoned Church Exploration pt.2

I loved the place so much that I went back again. Unfortunately, it took me forever to write about it, so I might be a bit fuzzy on the details. More exploration to come! Here are some photos of the abandoned church, as well as explanation.
The rooms in the church show so much decay, it’s [...]

Ruins of an abandoned church - Gary, Indiana

CMC was shut down in the 70’s due to a lack of attendance and suffered a fire in ‘97 (thanks to Corby for the correction!). To this day,  stands in the streets of Gary, Indiana as a relic of the past - the vast sanctuary, shadowy hallways, and decaying innards a testament to the ravages [...]

Happy V-Day?

I have a feeling that someone dislikes Valentine’s day. I took this in Lowell.

Love is in the air. Whoooo.

Smokey the cat!

We found a stray cat this weekend. It was sleeping in the middle of the road, so I decided to pick it up because I felt sorry for it. It is very thin, has a few scars behind it’s ear, a dirty gray coat – but it’s one of the most loving cats that I [...]

I managed to get to the implosion and shoot some shots even through the confusing and quickly changing schedule thanks to HollywoodChicago.com and some tips from Cristin and Andrew.
We took the train straight to where we waited for the demolition to commence (for three hours no less - but it was worth it - the [...]

Vacation update

I’m at a wireless access point down the beach and I’m running out of battery so I’ll make this quick. So far vacation has been pretty good, it’s warm, the ocean is nice, and the house is humongous. Plus of course Elise is here with me! Bad thing happened yesterday though. While bodyboarding I stepped [...]

North Carolina trip Pt.1

Nothing much to write about other than the fact that I thought I was going to die in a crazy dust storm. Here are some shots that Elise, my wonderful assistant and lover took along the way with explanations from yours truly.
First, of course, the obligatory “hey we’re leaving” shot of us at something [...]
