                    Lunar Detroit

                    Wednesday, January 13th 2010

                    It's been a while since I've frozen my ass off taking photos during a winter full moon, so I ventured out a few months ago to try my hand at some stuff in Detroit. I expected the results to be disappointing due to the amount of light pollution in the city, but I think some came out pretty good - a few places actually caught the natural moonlight instead of the streetlamps. I hope to try a lot more of this before spring rolls around.

                    Abandoned Churches

                    Saturday, December 19th 2009

                    I'm working on some photos of an abandoned church in Gary Indiana, and wondered how many of these amazing places exist throughout the world. These churches can range from a small single room to vast spaces with multiple levels, and sometimes encompass a school, convent, or rectory. Many can be found at psychiatric hospitals, which often catered to all different faiths; surprisingly I have come across very few abandoned synagogues, most being inaccessible. Most of these structures hold extravagant details in their woodwork, stone, or massive pipe organs, and the abandonment of this craftsmanship is often astounding. So, I've pulled together photographs of these abandoned chapels or churches I've found along the way, and hope you enjoy them!
