It was 8 o’clock pm on Thursday January 15, 2015 when we said goodbye to Ohio. With the entire Ohio group together, we finished packing ourselves into a car, ready now for the following seven hours South to Nashville. It’s no secret that any good road trip needs good snacks, while at the same time, all good road trips should
A place once frequented by squatters, this former elementary school was a lively part of Eastern Atlanta, and while it is still lively with nature, I wonder ‘where did the education go?’ Perhaps out one of the many broken windows… We find ourselves quietly standing among the destruction of a large, once vibrant gymnasium inside the John B. Gordon School.
A dusty pay phone hangs from its metal cord amongst the massive heap of destruction surrounding it. As I stood centered within this impressive, eerily quiet structure, all I could wonder was “where has all of the life gone?” In 1976 the world’s largest shopping mall would open its doors for the first time to shoppers from around the country.
Stationed only a block or so from the local police department in downtown Toledo remains a forgotten and fragmented structure formerly known as The Riverside Hospital. The hospital was opened in 1883 as a home for unwed mothers in the Northern Toledo area, welcoming them in under the supervision of the Sisters of Mercy. The hospital had operated under their

Have you ever wondered where entire lives of personal information are stored after visiting the doctor? There are times when we get to see this first hand, and in the most eerie of situations. Stepping inside, it’s like the sirens have been sounded, everybody has quickly packed up, rushing out with anything they could hold and let a wave of
I’m sure a lot of us have lingering memories, nostalgic and otherwise, of moments in life that have involved transportation. Whether it be a memorable road trip with friends, or perhaps a hot summer drive through the hills of a beautiful green countryside, while you sat, a young child admiring sunset from the passenger side window of an old rusted
Given the choice, would I rather examine some grand architecture, or some odd and forgotten specimens? You know, specimens…like pigs, frogs, larvae, rats, etc. Not long ago I was presented with the opportunity to see and photograph both of these inside an abandoned high school. This school is most certainly one of the largest abandoned schools that I have ever
