At the end of the 2013 exploring season I had reached my goal of bigger and better rooftopping, and I had upped the ante in terms of more risky locations. Coming into the 2014 season I had a few new goals

1 – Get so know some of my photography “internet friends” in person.

2 – Discover even more great locations.

3 – Go to Detroit

4 – Continue to improve upon my photography skills and practice more techniques.


I know for sure that I did the first three, here is a pic heavy look at my 2014.

For those who are interested, I have posted a complete year in review on my blog at https://freaktogra...an-exploring-2014/

But it's way too long - so don't bother!!!

That's a great year, way to go. This is really a captivating set of images.

I can't count the times your images have absolutely blown me away. Thanks MUCH for trilling my visual senses!

Can i ask...Whats the story behind that wad of cash and how much $$$ did it amount to?

Your year looks fantastic. I've been following you the whole way. Good deal on meeting your goals.

I guess on the improve photography front. If I could make a suggestion. Straighten up your lines. Don't keep your tripod so low. And tighten up your comps. Some look not so deliberate. But maybe that's not your bag. I can't throw my photography likes on everyone.

So.

Keep up the good work for 2015.

What are you exploring / photo goals for 2015?

15 is money!! a lot of great shots here

Hey. If you make it to Pennsylvania. Hit me up.

Thanks for the link, what a great read. You guys did the right thing. Looks like a crazy year for you, and nice shots.

I really like 41 and 47 a lot. And those rooftop photos near the end are dizzying!

Impressive! I hope 2015 is just as rewarding.

Great story and wow about the cash. Good karma indeed!

Very nice images! I really liked your industrial shots with all the knobs, gauges and pipes! I also really liked a few of your draining shots, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for more of your work!

Thanks guys!!!

What an awesome year! I have been following you over the past couple years and all I can say is that I need to get my paperwork in order and go to Canada! All those abandoned house shots are incredible!

I have a feeling you 2015 will surpass your 2014.
