Abandoned beauty school in Gary, Indiana. #abandonedgary #beautyschool #urbandecay #vintagestorefront #urbanexploring #spaghetti
You hear someone coming down the escalator, and there's no other way out. Your flashlight dies. You spill your spaghetti and drop your good Tupperware. What do you do next? #abandoned #spaghettidinner #creepyplaces #escelator #abandonedshoppingcenter #shoppingonline #shoppingcenter #urbex #tupperware
Well, I finally got out to explore some stuff again. Finishing up the final locations for the upcoming book!
Part of the assembly line at this abandoned China factory. So many molds and plates were left behind here, it was incredible. This is one of the MANY places that will be featured within my new book "Forgotten Dreams" If you are interested in grabbing a copy, send me a DM! These will be very limited to those who place their order before the end of this year! I will not be printing anymore of these so secure yourself a copy! • • • #abandoned #abandonedplace #urbex #kings_abandoned #abandoned_junkies #throughthelens #forgotten_dreams #moodygrams #fatalframes #urbanexploration #ig_urbex #urbex_supreme #all_is_abandoned #decay_nation #rsa_preciousjunk #jj_abandoned #ig_abandoned #lostplaces #abandonment_issues #derelict #abandonedearth #abandonedworld #visualsoflife #artofvisuals #createcommune #agameoftones #aov #peoplescreatives #thecreatorclass #exploretocreate
I took the photo on the left in 2016. The man's name was Eugene. He lived in the middle of practically nowhere around central Oregon. I had noticed him gardening while driving past, and of all things, what stuck out to me that made me turn my head was his hair. I could see it clearly from quite a distance while cruising by. Weird thing to notice while driving quickly past someone, yeah? I thought he had such an interesting and unique look to him overall as well, and I wanted to take his picture. I stopped in front of his home, walked over and simply explained why I had stopped, and asked him. Though a bit surprised, he thought it was awesome that I had stopped, and he agreed, as long as I would send him a copy of the photo when I got back home. He was a great guy, and had some interesting stories to tell. When I had arrived back home, I sent the photo of Eugene off to be printed. When I arrived at my printer later that day, they had mentioned that another client that prints with them had been in, and noticed the print on the table. John Corrigan - an incredible painter in the Chagrin Falls area - was the one who had seen the image, which had instantly made him want to commission me to photograph a friend he had made in the assisted living facility where he lives. When he had moved in, he met this other man, also John, and they quickly became great friends. John (the one in the photo) was nearing his time, and he (John Corrigan) had wanted a picture of his friend not only for himself, but John's family as well. He kept telling me how interesting of a character John had, and he wanted me to capture that. I agreed, and was able to capture photos of John and his family that they all loved. Only a couple weeks after I had taken this photo, John passed. They were all so happy to have these final photos of him. It's really wild looking at how the timeline of this went. If I would have stayed longer in Oregon like I had initially planned, I would have not been back home for this to happen the way it did. I would have never been introduced to John Corrigan through him seeing one of my photos of Eugene on the table. This moment would have never happened. #people #life
