salad: It did not deserve that fate at all and while I don't normally change anything I did put the parts back together a bit for my shot. Bear: I was there shortly after that for this set and it was in sad shape; as I say above I did stage it to look slightly more put together. Destroying things bugs the crap out of me; explore, take pictures, have fun but I'm not into vandalism, tagging or destroying extant objects! Those are the things we historians drool over! I also love that you shot these on film. Using film again is one of my goals for this year 😀

Yeah I fucking hate it when people do that. Because then they end up being something that is gross more than a place that engages me and activates curiosity. For instance, warehouse 6. The piano, original rope swing, and some of the wooden skate ramps are all destroyed. Those could have been enjoyed by others. But some retarded assholes chose to come and break them.
I have one friend who does stickers and I understand why he does it and the appeal, but that is just not for me. Also he does urban areas anyways so it wouldn't apply to this location by far.
Yeah I actually didn't even intentionally pick up film but you should too, it is awesome! I started in b&W and developing on my own with a mentor and it is very challenging and expensive. One day at the Treasure island flea market I bought a 35mm color film camera from a very nice Afghan for only $20. It works amazingly and the film for 35mm color is half the price of b&w. You should definitely pick up 35mm and pm me if you need any more advice around that(camera, film, developing lab, etc.)
EDIT:
on another note, below is a link to a thread with more images from this location from multiple members.
