damn man, where do you find all these things?

**testcase** · 04-08-2006, 02:06 AM

Amazing stuff you got there. This is really a texture-heaven for 3D-designers.

haha.. that's awesome! my buddy used to work for a company years ago that got huuuge funding (around 80mil), they sat there all day and built different level variations of the office they were in and played all day/night... they blew that money in 6 months hahahaha sad

**Wiggles** · 04-08-2006, 03:42 AM

Yeah, its a valid concern sometimes. But these places are all well-ventilated with collapsed walls, holes in the roof, etc. I'm careful not to touch stuff and I only spend a few hours wandering around.

I go by the old motto - if it don't kill me...it only makes me stronger, heh.

I did too, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Nice pics.

Likewise, years ago I used to build map levels and design sprites for DN3D...but I wasn't shootin' old abandonments back then.

Missed opportunities, heh...

**wyldblyss** · 04-08-2006, 06:07 AM

I weird, I would love exploring places like that.

Research...a sixth sense - and a little old-fashioned dumb luck.

**Morgan** · 04-10-2006, 12:45 PM

would you be willing to spare those pictures in hi-res? i wouldnt be using these commercially, just to play around with.

**Tom_PM** · 04-10-2006, 12:48 PM

Cool, you could make up some killer torture devices, hehe

**tornell** · 04-10-2006, 01:05 PM

coool

Thanks for asking, but I'm afraid I'll have to say no - sorry. As a commercial photographer I regard them as merch.

**adonthenet** · 04-10-2006, 04:18 PM

nice find

**wdsguy** · 04-10-2006, 04:22 PM

You could get killed by a serial killer/homeless bum in there and nobody would find you for months and months.

**Screaming** · 04-10-2006, 05:08 PM

I just dont see it.

**tony286** · 04-10-2006, 05:26 PM

man you should be a location scout for horror movies.

**CyberHustler** · 04-10-2006, 05:26 PM

asbestos.........?

Best excuse there is for not paying taxes.

While there's always that element of risk, I've been doing it for years and take a number of precautions. My wife always knows where I'm going and an approximate time I'll be home. I always carry a cellphone, a hunting knife and a 4D maglite for security. And I took combat training in the Canadian military years ago, 3 yrs. of martial arts...and I'm still in very good physical condition. Not to say I'm invincible, of course...nobody is. But I feel sorry for the other dude more than I'd worry about my own safety.

Stealth is always best, of course. Chances are I'd hear someone else before they heard me.

**sfera** · 04-10-2006, 06:01 PM

nice man shoot some grunge shit there

Probably, yeah...although I didn't see any myself. The worst I seen was one large area had a dozen or more 50-gallon drums of formaldehyde - just sittin' there rustin' away. It was used in the manufacture of the bakelite products, and I guess they failed to clean the shit out when they shut the plant down.

Its a toxic nightmare. The factory is about a hundred yards from the shore of Lake Ontario, too. No doubt there's been a lot of ground seepage over the years.

Condos anyone?

cool, i understand.

the low-res will work just fine i suppose, just thought i would ask.

**Downtime** · 04-10-2006, 08:03 PM

nice shots!!!

**Elli** · 04-10-2006, 08:41 PM

I would get hella creeped out wandering through there, but that's just me. Awesome photos

**Dshady** · 04-11-2006, 05:25 AM
