This past weekend one of the Houston explorers came to Nola for a visit and we hit up a ton of places with him, several that I hadn't been in before. We also drove over to Jackson, MS to check out some possible locations and got into a couple there.

All in all it was a whole lot of fun and we came away with some funny stories. One of the oddest was how the owner of a half-demolished psych hospital caught us coming out of it.. but then he insisted on showing us an old record player. This thing was a busted piece of shit, and he yanked on the parts for a solid five minutes in which we thought there was no way in hell it was going to work. After banging on it a couple of times the thing started playing Stars and Stripes Forever.

Anyway, here are some of the shots, the rest of them can be found here: https://www.flickr.../72157675441628575

Thanks for looking!

Love them curvy stairs.

This is a fantastic set, especially the shot of the window laying down. Nice work.

Awesome set, I really need to get myself down to Nola one day. That power station has been on my to do list for quite a while now.

It's a great set, especially the staircases, but 13 really stands out to me.

Good job. Great host of places.

Thanks, guys! I checked off quite a few places on my list but I added a few too!

great photos!! number 3 is my favorite! churches are the best to explore!

Great set! I went to NOLA 3 months before I got into exploring and now I'm so bummed at all the stuff I could have seen. all I did was shoot pictures of the old cemeteries...but enough about me..awesome stuff here!

Nice, where's the record player?
