Siltgod here, reemerging from a long hibernation of urban exploration. Today felt like spring. You could smell it. I love that. Here's a few shots from my new Canon. I woke up at 4:30 and worked photography and filming five abandoned sites and a pasta festival. I'll show the former.


1.) Tucker at Sunrise. Fucking love this. Oh gawsh. One thing I don't like about spring: the sunrise is later, meaning if you're working in the morning you have less light when people are asleep (4,5). I cannot get over this though, these colors.


2.) I could do better. Urbexers don't stage people in photos as much as I think they should. This is one of my favorite positions for a place of ruin.


3.) My driver and old suit expert, who happen to be my friends, pose in classic 1800s portrait-style at the back of a 1950s stable. Love the white wood, the sense of scale, the leading lines.


4.) Frost on what seems to be an engine piece. This was jutting out of a downed barn that was so overgrown and covered it could've been mistaken for a small hill. This was the only good part. Another thing I don't like about the changing seasons: last of interesting frost or ice patterns.


5.) My pal rests in a farmhouse garage while I take a panorama of the scene. Don't love the color variety but it's a nice use of chiaroscuro. With urbex you can't always pick your settings or layouts.


6.) This home was just off the highway and the wallpapers looked like they were ripped from 1950s ads. The intensity of lemonade and turquoise blew me away.


7.) My pal decides to wear a smock he found in an abandoned slaughterhouse.


8.) How we got to the aforementioned 1950s home. It was perfect: aluminium paneling over trash so we could walk directly up and into this torn-apart home. Like we were being asked to enter. The subtle colors in this are my favorite part, the rainbow inside the flare of the sun.


9.) Cockleburs rest against paneling at sunrise. They flow like a waterfall.


10.) Macro textures! More people should try this out. I brought an extension kit with my Canon and applied I think 31mm of macro capacity(?) to get right up to this door.


11.) We found a bone pit and had to walk through it to further explore. A bone pit! A pit! Full of bones of cattle! A mass fucking grave! I cannot get over how cool this was. As you can tell, the bones had been sunbleaching and greening for years probably. Lichen was blooming on some and we found pants between two jawbones.


12.) Tucker at sunrise again, just from a different angle. Perhaps I should've used a flashlight to lightpaint the side of this silo. Yowza this was fun.

Let me know if anyone from the Southern Tier on New York wants to urbex! I keep contacting people but they're all Rochester-folk and can't do much. Our area got a lot of great sites too.
Stay tick-free, I had one feasting on me for 40 hours after this adventure. He was a cutie, but it wasn't the best experience. They're the assholes of this activity. That and the asshole humans.
