The photos are not brilliant to be honest, just thought I'd post this in case anyone wanted to break in to these places and get better ones. k

Haha, no chance.

That's what always scares me. If I can get in, then how many crazy creakheads are squatting there?

Neat looking places. Reminds me of this sweet abandoned house off the curry mile near my friend's place. I guess it was infamous for they parties held there in the past, now it's all boarded up with a pigeon skeleton in the rosebush. Or it at least that's how it looked when I was there two years ago.

If you don't know an abandoned place, it's always wise to hit it the first time with a partner or a couple of people. Generally speaking though, bums are way more worried about being found out than they are interested in committing violent crime against you - that's where they live. Don't shit where you eat, and all that.

Bums living in abandoned buildings have been known to do just that.

It's not the attacking I'm afraid of, it's contracting their horrible HOBOAIDS.

I think I will buy that book when it's available - I've seen many of those shots before and they are consistently beautiful.

All of them are cool, but that theater (theatre) gives me the chills.

Lots of great photos on his site. Does he have a book? I can't seem to find any book mentioned on his site.
