No pondering the relationship between the community and the abandonment this time: this place is a heavily-vandalized shell of itself. Still, the scale of the institution and the little details that weren't destroyed made the whole exercise worthwhile.

Nice set. Despite it being destroyed, there is some spots that are cool. There's just a lot of ground to cover.

Surprised those projectors are still there!

On my list to see *at some point*.

It's getting worse daily.

Still looks worthwhile to me! Nice job with the photos.

Definitely a fun place. Pretty shocked to see all those tags in the pool, they weren't there even a month ago.

Can confirm.

Though to be fair, this was the only angle I could shoot the pool without a tag in it. But it appears that I got it just in time. This set paints the place in a much different light than randomesquephoto's thread. Still some great shots regardless.

I gotta get up to this place, I walked around a month ago, but was injured so I didn't bother going in. Will definitely plan a trip up there soon. Photos look great.

WOW!!!!
Some virgin shit:



It's a shame to see it get like that.

Thanks for the responses, everyone!

I don't think we really realized how massive the place was before going in. We spent six hours there, just going through the first two buildings. I don't suppose any of the areas deeper into the campus have less vandalism?

(Also, sorry for basically ripping off one of your shots with my #9!)

And krush, how long ago did you take your pictures? It's amazing how badly that organ has been treated by comparison.

not stealing. some areas tend to lend themselves to similar shots, that's one of them.

And Krush was probably exploring this place when it was still open

HAHAHAHHA!!!!

Really liken That pool shot and that exercise bike...and, #7

That is one heck of a buckled floor in #17. Those projectors are way too cool. Here's perhaps a dumbass question, but what were they projecting into? I'm assuming a small theater of some kind, but that sounds like it would have made for a neat shot, and it doesn't look like anybody posted such a shot.

They projected down to the stage. Screens were there.

It's way dark in there now, no?

Almost pitch black. I took a few photos in there, but they didn't come out well at all, hence their absence from the set.

The building had power at one time. Thus the well lit scene.
