I always meant to post in this thread but never got round to it.

Just got back from a bit of exploring this weekend and thought I'd finally post some stuff.

This is an old run-down movie theatre in a near-by industrial city. Always wanted to go there. Seems I got lucky, since they're bringing heavy equipment to the place to presumably tear it down.

This too. There's a neat abstract quality to it.

For those who loved Jiro Kage's post back on the first page, there's a little documentary on Netflix called "Abandoned America" and it's worth a watch. They also get some really cool shots and video of Hunter's Point.

Thanks. I need to redo this one, because it's hand-held at ISO one billion or something. Not too fond of the noise in there (and noise reduction smear).

It's sealed now, unless you're willing to do some semi-risky stuff with ropes and climbing gear. It's worth a visit though. It's on top of a desolate mountain above a peaceful valley. Some horses roam freely around and may come see you. This place is surreal.

They're hung from the ceiling and can be pulled up and down by the chains that lead to some wall. The workers put their clothes in and raised it to the ceiling. Apparently they thought this'd be more practical than lockers back in the day.

Here's a picture from someone else showing the other side of the chains (different mine, tho):

That's a bummer, I figure they got sick of all the looting and vandalism of the place.

Sorry for abandoning ( :golfclap: ) the thread. Been through a bit of a slump, photographically speaking. Haven't been able to work on any of my projects either, due to a super busy work season.

But I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things, here's some photos of an abandoned Coast Guard base:

This is Patarei Prison In Tallinn, Estonia

Amazingly this place was still in use until 2004, the inside of the place was like a fridge even though i was there in the summer, The atmosphere of the whole place was very depressing, On top of these pictures i also saw the execution room but i wasn't really comfortably taking photos of a blood stained floor


The outside of the prison:

That escalator somehow triggers flashbacks to Battlefield Earth. I'm too afraid to rewatch the movie to see whether it's the same mall.

This is months old, but the baskets are far better than lockers! That room is what's called a Dry (at least where I work at). Mining underground is hard work, you be soaked with sweat or water at the end of the shift. By keeping stuff in baskets the clothes will dry out in time for the next shift (the room is normally kept hot and well ventilated to help with that).

Actually a drat shame about that place. From what I can tell from older galleries from other people, it was way cleaner than that just over half a year ago. The entry hall even had some small chandelier.

I've been far too busy lately for doing much photography at all, let alone working through my list of projects.

However, after a break my interest is coming back.

Excellent work everyone!

Here's all I got to share right now:

Bright, almost direct sunlight + Fuji's in-camera processing (Classic Chrome!) seems to have resulted in something that looks like it came from Fallout concept art.
