With another semester of school in full swing, I haven't done much traveling over the past few months. However, over the summer, I was able to do a fair amount of exploring; I finally made it down to MD/PA and checked out some places closer to home, in MA and VT. And, as the title would suggest, I ended up taking plenty of photos with my phone's camera . Big thanks to everyone who helped me out with info, particularly Essexplorer, Goat and Radical Ed.

Most photos are from a state hospital in PA. All taken with my Samsung Galaxy s6.

Thanks for looking!

Those are some fantastic photos, great location. This should be an example for people who doubt their phone can take good pictures.

Awesome shots dude! Good to see a new set from you, seems like it's been awhile. Glad to see you were able to hit up some good spots this year.

Thanks! I definitely had doubts about it myself but was very pleasantly surprised.

Thanks, it has been a while haha. I still gotta get out to your neck of the woods sometime!

Very nice. do you have more pictures of the courtyard from image 1?

You grabbed some nice images

It's nice to explore without whoring around a ton of cam gear. The pitfall is living more for moment and less ability to capture images.
Many times I went exploring with no way to record it... places long gone. Oops.

Happy to have helped, man. Your set turned out great! I like your composition. Cheers to the semester finally being over haha

Nice one man! I think I tried to go here a year ago but had a parking fail and moved on to plan B. Hopefully we can meet up soon in the "Commonwealth"

Thank you; this was actually the hollowed-out central floor of a mill:

Thanks, and I definitely agree with that sentiment haha. I love my DSLR but it can be nice to occasionally forgo the camera bag and tripod. Regardless of what I'm using though, I've gotten into the habit of constantly taking snapshots purely for documentation.

Much appreciated, and cheers . Can't wait to get back down to MD/ PA.

Bits and pieces
At one time it would have been so much more to explore...

NICE!!!!
You hit one of my favorite spots.

Really enjoyed this dude. We need to get together again next year.

Hot dang, these are incredibly crisp photos. Really like the mill shots... subject matter, colors, composition. Would love to see this location in person one day.

Really like your photos! Especially the monochrome/B&W. SSean. What do you call this variation? Is is mono color, sepia blend? Makes for some lovely shots .... Tell me how you do it man!?!

Image 12, is that UER graffiti on the pool wall? Great looking pictures.

Yep. It said "Fuck UER".

I love that last photo.

Really is a shame that so much is gone, although it's still interesting in its own way. I'd love to return sometime and see if any other segments are accessible.

Thanks man, and yeah for sure!

Thanks you guys, much appreciated! Misunderstood, for the B&Ws I used the greyscale interface while shooting, and did a small amount of post-processing (minor straightening and white balance adjustments). I like the effect but I'm also eager to explore the on-board settings, which are surprisingly versatile.
