For quite quite some time now, I have tried to schedule a week long photography trip somewhere abroad each year. While on these travels I would sometimes stumble across some abandoned places, but only recently have I begun planning trips mainly focused on urbex. After a bit of research this year I settled on Greece, … Continue reading Welcome to Greece
I featured a particular parochial school in the previous post, and in this follow up I’ll showcase a couple public schools I was able to explore. One of these is pretty well known among the urbex community and I figure it’ll get recognized by those in the know, but I’ll keep them anonymous nonetheless. Detroit … Continue reading Detroit, Part 2
When I recently came across some good info on potential bandos to hit in the Motor City, I picked a balmy weekend and made the trek out to this mecca of American urbex. It had been some years since my last visit, and I was very excited to see how the city had changed and … Continue reading Detroit, Part 1
I used to visit Gary for photography. Like, a lot. Over time, as my horizons broadened and I started traveling further afield for photography, I started going less and less often. Lately, most of the time I’ve spent there is showing visitors around. And each time, I’m reminded just how much there is to see … Continue reading Just the Hits
My Canadian friend Holly was in town last month, and, since had never explored Chicago, we made plans to meet up for a day of shooting. She had also found out about an abandoned, but still accessible, stretch of Route 66. It was shut down to vehicular traffic a few years ago as an adjacent … Continue reading Get Yer Kicks
(last of the Utah series) There was no better way to wrap up these posts from our trip to Utah than at the Valley of the Gods. This aptly named valley is an area of fantastically weathered sandstone formations in the southeast corner of Utah, just across the Arizona border from the similar but more … Continue reading The Valley of the Gods
(part of the Utah series) Utah’s nickname is “the beehive state”, which I had always found odd as it doesn’t seem like a place where you would find a lot of flowers, being mostly arid desert or scrubland. But not knowing much about bees, I was prepared to be surprised and find that that is, … Continue reading Beehive State of Mind
(part of the Utah series) I would have a hard time picking a favorite national park out of those I’ve visited, but for best ratio of decent shots taken to time and effort spent, Canyonlands would likely be first. We did hike some trails early in the day, but spent most of our time here … Continue reading The Canyonlands
(part of the Utah series) A pause now before the next post returns us to another one of Utah’s stunning national parks. Though those were the main focus of this trip, we will always make time for some old human relics. As much as I loved the desert landscapes, it was places like these that … Continue reading Spirits, Echoes, and Things Left Behind
(second in the Utah series) Besides some of the more famous national parks, we decided to visit the Bentonite Hills outside of Capitol Reef National Park. Though not part of the park, the U.S. National Park Service maintains a page about them, which can give you a quick rundown of the interesting geology of the … Continue reading Exploring the Unique Bentonite Hills of Utah
