Finally addressing my backlog of the last few years of photos. I look forward to any criticism, I want to continue to improve as a photographer. these are the first pics I've shared with anyone on UER

this spot has always been a favorite, this is THE spot that got me to stop being a bitch (pardon) and just get out and do it for real and stop being an armchair explorer.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

These were probably all late 2016-mid 2017 haven't been there in just about a year. These pics are probably spanning 3 different trips there. Thank you!(: Yes I feel blessed that this was the stomping ground I learned urbex essentials at, there's a little bit of everything there. Still so much I haven't seen

Man, this place is pristine. It manages to preserve the artificial beauty of the building while capturing the outer layer of decay and neglect that's nurtured it. I like in particular the kitchen plates shot where most are ordered and untouched--almost like a live continuous snapshot of a time gone by. When was this place abandoned more or less?

Thanks for sharing.

I really really miss running around this place. I had a huge hard on for this place and used to go here weekly in 2012 and 2013. Haven't been in a couple years now and most pics of what I see now it seems real trashed. You did a good job with this set. Reminds me of a really fun time in my life.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. So cool to hear my pictures evoking so many positive memories and feelings(: I will make some more threads soon.

Yeah with institutions and buildings like these not being the way forward, I do wonder what the future of urbex buildings would be like. Seems like they'd all be cookie cutter and super boring but maybe that's just me. Gotta enjoy em while we can
