Funny how things change...

I revisited a couple of places the other day and found them...well, useless now. The first place was a groovy little house straight out of the seventies, I'd never seen a place built that way.

Now every single surface is tagged...I mean REAL tagged, it must have taken days. Not only is there nothing but paint to shoot now, the taggers apparently called so much attention to their work that they installed motion detecting alarms! I got about six shots before it became audibly obvious it was time to GTFO.

So I checked on another place where I had only planned to shoot exteriors...the insides are actually surprisingly boring. It's now pretty well impossible to access, but that's okay...the outside was really the only thing worth seeing. It's incredible!

I was kinda pissed at first. Now for some reason it feels more like closure on a couple places I'd been thinking about.

It's amazing that taggers think they own everything. There are some places I don't mind seeing art, but most places are the same 2-3 signs repeated like wallpaper.

When I UE, I am a ghost. I take nothing, move nothing, if you don't catch me, there is NO SIGN I WAS THERE! Taggers leave paint and cans everywhere. Scrappers steal anything they can move. I stand by what I said. Shoot on sight!

I think you should probably get to know one before you bash them all. I've never left anything behind, nor have a destroyed a place beyond how I found it. It's just a place to practice. I like art. Is that a crime?... Don't answer that. I'll agree with the crackhead graff and chicken scratches tho. That's just dumb and embarrassing to look at.

No man, it's important that urban explorers protect these locations from 14 year-old locals who steal paint form their Dad's shed to go write on stuff by shooting them.

Aside form that,
I'm pretty sure that taking photos of the inside of a building and then posting them on the internet draws attention to locations also. (But, who here is going to argue that we shouldn't be doing that?)

But hey, Skull dude, if you want to tell writers that they don't belong in abandonments and that you're going to shoot them, I'd start here: http://www.12ozpro...om/forum/index.php

But- Whatever you do, don't bother learning about what their mindset is, or learning about their security culture.
