Just a collection of some of my favorite shots of 2020. Just about every place I explored this year is represented here.
Despite 2020 being a weird year and my drive to explore not being what it once was, I still got to see interesting and varied collection of locations during the past 12 months.
Some highlights:
A brutal hike through waist deep snow to explore a former orphanage turned summer camp
Exploring my first theme park
Finally getting to see a famous and notoriously risky asylum before it completely falls apart
Getting permission to explore a resort I had been wanting for years, as renovations were just beginning
My favorite location of the year? A time capsule laundromat/dry cleaners in a small town. The place was so unique, filled with everything from garments still on racks, wedding dresses in the process of being repaired and antique dry cleaning equipment. The place was nearly untouched, with decay beginning to set in and some really killer lighting.
Here was my 2020, in photos:
If happy times are to few and far between
It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
Razor's Edge
Anyone know where I can find some powder?
I'm turnin' the tables on you
You've been playin' dirty pool
Maple Syrup Folks
"So what!? So let's dance!"
Leave It To Cleaver
Sometimes You Have To Work On Christmas
White Flight
Y'all got any of that Farmer John cheese?
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Sing this song when I am gone
I'll be in every word
In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
Wherever you are
I hope you read the words I've written in the stars
Paintball Duel at High Noon
Holes in this house
There's some holes in this house
Ferris Wheel's Day Off
Well, always on this roller coaster
If you want me why can't you get closer
Fly by night, away from here
What? Cuz I been in the lab with a pen and a pad?
Coming Out of 2020 Like:
Day's dawning, skin's crawling
Pure morning
Gymatorium Green
Silk suit, black tie
I don't need a reason why
All Dressed Up
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry
Take a look, it's in a book
A Scanner Darkly
You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads
She says that they're all dead
I see the red steps and I want them painted black
"Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?"
Pool Snake
Legoland Auditorium
When the world falls apart
I will hold you in my arms like a friend
Globalism
God is a DJ
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Partially Pilfered Pews
"County Morgue, you stab 'em, we slab 'em"
"Winning an argument with a genius is difficult. Winning an argument with a idiot is impossible"
So would you be my ghost tonight?
I will bring you back to life
If it weren't for all the people I'd be all alone
Rock me baby, rock me baby all night long
