Abandoned Places

[stsinner]

How about this find-it was an old woodworking mill that had a fire some years before, but they continued to use it afterward until they went belly-up. I went in and took some pictures, even though it was half-fallen down. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I even went to the top floor and took pictures off of it where there were no more walls and no roof!

Sad story about this place-a young developer bought it with the intention of tearing it down and putting up an Asian restaurant due to the fact that it sits on waterfront property with a small waterfall to look at. Those pictures are at the end. Anyway, after he had the building demolished, he and his wife died in a car accident, so now it sits vacant as just a foundation.

Enjoy!

WOW! I can't believe they still worked in that building until the company went belly up! That is insane!

Can you keep a secret?

Nice! You wanna go back and get me the tool box and tool trays?

Looking at them now. I guess they could both use a little editing

Hm...

What editing would you do? They both appeal to my preferences for industrial/geometric images, but there is something missing that I can't identify.

I'd love to see what they look like after you've done whatever you want to do to them.

Wow, Chiller, I just went to your gallery, and you not only take some amazing shots-you do amazing things with them.

Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate your comments.

I just looked at your Darkside photos, and I'm amazed how good you are. Are you a graphic designer or something similar?

this thread has really amazed/creeped me out. you guys have had some cool shots.

out west of my town there is an old shut-down abandoned ammunition plant that sits on about 10 miles by 10 miles worth of ground. NO ONE is allowed in there unless you get cleared and a bunch of other stuff. the only reason i got to go in there is because there are a few farmers that have made some fields out of the expanse of ground at the plant and my dad had to go spray one of those fields so i got to go with him.------ i had never seen such a site in my entire life. it was like an abandoned ghost town. this place was AMAZING. buildings after building after buildings. all abandoned. there are also these HUGE missal silo shelter deals. they look like huge HUGE mole hills. they are a site. abandoned trains too. everywhere. you name it they have it. it is a photographers PARADISE.

i DONT think its legal to take photos in there. im almost 100 % sure it would be considered contraband. OH BUT IF I COULD----

sorry--i just had to let you guys feel my grief about this matter.

Thank you again. Nah. Im actually a warehouse manager. I just have a creative side to me, fascinated with horror, halloween, and seeing if I can get what is in my mind to a real image. I cant even start to get what I have in my head out. I just dont have the resources. I really appreciate you taking the time to look and commenting. Thanks so much.

Holy cow! I think you're missing your calling.. Dude-you're good! You should be making money with this.. I've seen some people that claim they're making money with their work that can't hold a candle to your stuff.

Of course I'd imagine that if you start depending on a hobby for money, the stress may take the fun out of it because now it's work..

This is what sparked my love for URBEX.. The silo tour. If you haven't gone through this site, you haven't lived...
