Thanks to Budda for tipping me off to this amazing place and taking me through it.

It has gotten pretty rare to see schools that have no damage or graffiti. This is a rare exception to the norm, with some scrapped pipes being most of the manmade damage in the entire place. Would really hate to see this place become a victim of the neighborhood where it's located in.

Also, please excuse the flash in some of these shots. My camera really, really does not like dark rooms.

Sweet job, bro. Incredible coverage and quality processing. I wish I was there right now.

Thanks! No post-processing at all - straight from the camera.

It's so weird to think one year the teachers/staff were saying "Have a good summer!" then never returning to the building again...

This looks like a beautiful school though, great job capturing it!

Thanks, leaving it open seemed like an awful idea. Much more difficult for anyone to get in now, which should help preserve it for a bit longer.

Excited to see the other school as well, didn't quite get around to it on Saturday. I've heard great things about it.

I think my favorite ones (though it's hard to choose) are the ones showing the writing on the chalkboard. It just strikes me, that someone stood there and wrote something, and that is their handwriting. And it hasn't been disturbed since they wrote it, fragile though chalk is.

That's probably the coolest part, to me.
