Have you ever been driving and noticed a old building off in the distance and said to yourself, "What the hell is that?". Well it happens to me all the time, and unfortunately most of the time all I can do is mark it on a map, look it up on Google Earth and hope for the best the next time I'm in the area.
Fortunately earlier this week, I was able to indulge my natural curiosity and go find out. What I saw initially was a large building looming in the distance of an otherwise flat desert plain. I managed to locate a road winding its way in the general direction of the place and found myself soon thereafter parked in front of an old abandoned power plant!
Even though all of the equipment had been removed, the building itself was beautiful in its own way. Now in the beginning stages of crumbling, I loved the shadows and the views the few remaining windows held. While the location itself wasn't full of old equipment, overgrowing plants into the building, the obligatory penis graffiti, or the "sexy art shots", the discovery of something completely unexpected and untouched as well as the joy of saying, "Screw it. I'm gonna' check this place out", reminded me why I started this strange hobby in the first place.
I hope you enjoy this place through my lens as much as I did through my eyes.
