New Hopesfall songs "Faint Object Camera" and "Tunguska" has me editing old pictures tonight of stuff I had never taken a second look at. All of these are from the summer of 2015. Mix of infrared and cell phone shots. Don't judge on the cell shots. 1-4 are with an IR converted Nikon D70 body and the rest were with a Samsung Galaxy S5.






1. Buffalo State Hospital









2. New York State Sanatorium turned State Prison









3. Saratoga County Homestead










4. Factory with a car on smoke stack, New York










5. Horse drawn hearses, Ontario, Canada









6. Preakness Hospital demolition, New Jersey









7. Preakness Hospital demolition, New Jersey









8. Preakness Hospital









9. New York Incipient Tuberculosis Sanatorium










10. New York Incipient Tuberculosis Sanatorium

Man I wish I took a single picture at Preakness when I was there.
I cant even tell that any of these are cell phone shots ;)

Pic #5 is elegant in creepy kind of way. The hearse is beautiful in a building that is crumbling around it.

I forgot we did that place together. Wasn't it in the middle of winter but it was as humid as the middle of summer of inside? I wish I took more pictures. Not nearly enough.





There you are! Before I ever even had a smartphone.

Thank you. I didn't have much salvageable pictures from there but it was one of the coolest places I ever saw. Demolished now, not sure what ever came of those hearses.

Your IR stuff is always so great. Perfect use of the medium.

Yea! That place was disgusting even in the winter.
I think my camera battery died when we were at Greystone earlier that day so I went through Preakness with no gear.

Thank you! It's always been a nice escape for me from traditional color photos.

That may have had the worst air quality of any place I've ever been. Fergus Falls in the middle of summer is a close second though. I totally forgot that happened to you there...ugh. Didn't the Taurus break down too at Greystone?

That was such a fun trip.

Posted by uedamien That was such a fun trip.

One of my favorites man! We had a BBQ down in Levittown afterwords. I'm sure we were grilling Chinese Sausage hahaha

hard to believe how many years ago now that was.

Oh yea I forgot about that. There was something wrong with the fuel system and it wouldn't start until you let it sit over night. So there it sat at Greystone for 2 days.

1 and 3 Made my Night! Thank You! Beautiful shots!

I miss your old Taurus to be honest. That baby had a lot of character.

Posted by MisUnderstood! 1 and 3 Made my Night! Thank You! Beautiful shots!

You are definitely welcome!! I truly appreciate that!

great stuff!

I wish I spent more time at Preakness. That place was about 100 feet from where my mom's childhood home was and I didn't realize it was there until the last year of it's existence.

it was black mold city in there though.
