for those of you who doubt there is life after death, i have finally captured photographic evidence that spirits do roam the halls of the buildings i take pictures of. this was easily one of the most terrifying experiences i have ever had and i am glad that the ghost only wanted to bum a smoke and not devour my soul. / —-—-—-—-—-—-- / photo taken at algonquin river state hospital / more of my work is available at www.abandonedamerica.org

this is where they took it all from you. / it wasn’t when you were arrested, or in the courts, / or even in the mazes of bars and locked doors - / it was here that you got to watch everything you had / slip between your fingers into the void of the past. / under the ever-watchful eyes of the guards (who hated you) / and surrounded by your fellow inmates (who hated you) / you had your own little show: / witnessing the few people left who loved you drift away. / your friends came less and less often until they vanished. / your family stayed longer, but everytime they visited you you saw / the bottomless sorrow, anger, guilt, condemnation in their eyes. / here you saw reflected through the thick plexiglass / their reaction to the animal you had become, herded / to and from your cell with batons and rifles, / the omnipresent threat of solitary, of other things / too horrible for them to contemplate. and yet every time they looked at you, / this was what they saw. then there was your wife, / each time a little more distant, a little colder / until the day she came with the divorce papers / and you could see in her features that her love for you / was beyond pleas or threats or excuses. / it was gone. / your children grew by leaps and bounds, each time / bigger, less comprehending, more alien to you - / their lives comprised of things you would never know or see / and your life one you could only hope they’d never know firsthand. / these were the things you thought about. maybe it felt unjust, / but your opinions no longer mattered. you had been ejected, / banished into some small forgotten corner where all that was left / that made you human faded away through this window right in front of you / and your opportunities and hopes shrank until they were such / that nobody, not even you, could see them any more. / this was the nature of your dwindling world. / it got smaller and smaller every day. photo taken at john f. grantham correctional facility / all rights reserved. more of my work is available on www.abandonedamerica.org

Rusting away
by LouDLight ship wreck at Vrilya Point on Cape York, Australia, in a very isolated location in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. Can only be reached at low tide, in a 4WD vehicle or by boat. In its heyday, the lightship was used as a lighthouse, until it was replaced by modern nautical warning systems.

As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath, / Receives the lurking principle of death, / The younger disease, that must subdue at length, / Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength. - Alexander Pope / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- photo taken at portecello communicable disease hospital / more work is available at my website, www.abandonedamerica.org – and i just added a huge new gallery yesterday, so check it out if you get a chance!

Powerplants stripped from dozers and excavators piled up at RAF Folkingham, awaiting repair or more likely disembowelment for spare parts. Hunkered down from the bleak wind, and shielding the lens from rain with my glove, I had a feeling it would all be worth while. Without blowing my own trumpet too much, I think this’d look great on a µ-Ziq CD cover…

what a strange thing, to die in your sleep / not to have your spirit violently expelled by some calamitous event, / but rather to have it silently stolen away as though by a thief in the night / never to be seen again, nor to even be known as lost. / and if death itself is like sleep, as some say, it is stranger still to find yourself / wandering through the dreams of some monstrous thing / that passed away long ago / as only a random figment, to be heard of briefly and then no more. / we do not fear these places because they may contain ghosts - / we fear them because they make us realize that is in fact what we are. / -—-—-—-—-—- / photo taken at mayflower state hospital / please visit www.abandonedamerica.org if you would like to see more of my work.

Simple tools for simple fare; one frying pan, a spatula, fork, and spoon. / The knife—SHARP! – he would have worn in a leather scabbard on his belt. This fork is silver-plated; a not uncommon find in the leavings of the camps. In those days, silver was currency, and in many cases, the measure of a family’s wealth might be found in the utensil box.

close up of an old, decaying, rusting metal handrail, along with peeling paint. lovely jubbly! to me, the bottom half of the picture could almost be an abstract reflection from the top, or maybe i am seeing far too much into it…. its all relative, its an abstract! :)
