Im not sure what this building was primarily used for but at some point it was a small club/music venue. Then it was taken over by cats, pigeons and bums. Right now its in the process of being renovated.

I'm digging the first two black and white shots. And the cat-mummy.

cool. Nice little spot. My fave is the next to last one- I like the symmetry of the wilted window shade.

thanks, the cat-mummy, chair and window shade are my favs too. some of them are a little over exposed, but I guess as long as i can at least get some half decent photos from glitchy old camera I bought off a friend for $30, I cant really complain too much.

True. I made do with an old point-and-shoot for years, even after it had been submerged in drainwater, dropped 20 feet onto concrete, and had every crevice impregnated with sand. I finally had to upgrade once the entire left side the frame went out of focus.

Also: I forgot about that cat mummy. That one is pretty rad as well.

Awesome shots... sorry to say my fav was the cat mummy.

Great shots, but something about the mummified critters always raises an eyebrow.

not surprised it would earn the nickname bumhouse. Any clue what its being renovated for? its a shame regardless.

But little they know, that it's so hard to find, one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind

the cat-mummy was probably my favorite part of this explore. Im not sure what what its being renovated for. Last time i saw it, all the windows had been replaced by modern tinted ones and there was a crew working inside.
my camera has been through a lot also. It was actually dead for a couple months after it got hit and the gears for the zoom/focus seized and it would just shut itself off. it fell out of my car one day and fixed itself. now it just has a couple electrical glitches and the motors seize every now and then. fun times.
